Sorry to hear your virtual body was so in the way, not sure what happened there as we didn't really run into that issue during testing.
We had originally placed the revolvers in your vision, but found them to be a bit in the way when shooting down at enemies, so we moved them to your hips. During testing, we found that if you weren't a skinny person then it was nearly impossible to get the guns, so we had to move them out a bit. Unfortunately, our trailer doesn't showcase that you have to grab the guns off your hips but that's where they always return to when you drop them.
As for the hats, you can shoot them and they'll come sailing towards you. And you can shoot them while they're above you to juggle them, it's a lot of fun to mess around with.
Thanks for playing, hopefully we can address these issues for the future.
