I know it’s not joystick drift because this doesn’t happen in any other games. This does happen in MW3 only, sometimes this acts up a bit and moves up from the target. Idk if this happens to anyone or else(this clip is the only one I can get close to it as I need to go through my Xbox network collection)

Happened in MW2 also, it’s a game thing, nothing wrong with your controller or whatever.
It’s the game and NetCode registering the visual recoil from your weapon. Since you were firing as you died the game hasn’t processed the fact you’ve actually stopped firing and is reading that input as still operating. Basically treats that you’re in the process of spawning and just holds out that input until you respawn and then it catches up realising you’re no longer submitting the input as if you’ve just stopped firing.
Hope that makes sense.
Happens on MnK too on some spawns. Only notice it on some shipment variants.
