Weapon LODs are randomly screwy?

My weapons randomly have their models becoming…angular throughout the levels. It can happen to any or all sections of the gun and switch back and forth multiple times in a single game. I suspect it has something to do with me getting pounced by specials or possibly flame damage.

I think it’s possible that the weapon LODs get stuck at the distance the weapon was at when I got pounced when the view reverts back to FPS view and I end up with lower rez LODs in FPS mode.
