Ghosts With Guns!

Okay, okay. So I fibbed a bit. It's not really ghosts but it still doesn't explain why and how the gun is just floating in the picture below.

The weird thing was though; after I went and retrieved said gun from the Super Mutant it was still floating there in the air. Obviously the game still thought it was there.

It would be nice if it was able to clone itself (as in me going back to the mutants body and able to keep picking them up) but still no such luck.

But then again the big RPG games such as Fallout 3, New Vegas and Oblivion are always full of random and unexpected glitches. So who knows?
