So to begin with i have been playing Guild Wars 2 since launch and i love it. But there was always one littlte issue i had with my Norn Male character, his rifle Animations seemed out of place. For all two handed Weapons there is a special Animation. But not for the Rifle, this is when running or walking.
I just accepted that as i thought this was the way Anet wanted to portray the Rifle Stance.
But recently i was looking closley at the other races and they all have a unique Rifle animation.
To Bring my Point Accros better i have made some Comparing screenshots.
The idle stance seems to be fine for the Male because compared to Female its the same:

But When running or walking the female Norn, as all of the other races have a animation for Both hands grabing the weapon but male Norn weilds it like it was a sword or other one handed Weapons:

I know this is definently not an issue for most people. And pretty unimportant, especially since the big patch is coming and everything is about that. And i am definetly not hatefully complaing, i just wanted to find an explanation. So i would like to know why this inconsistency in animation in this particular form occoured here ?
As attachment i have added one example so people dont necassarly have to go to imgur.
Edit: Appeartnly this also is the same for the charr, so maybe it is a design decision. This if someone wants to say something regarding that topic feel free to comment
