They're less bombastic, but the animations for the non-heated animations are no less nonsensical. You're not going to fire a carbine one-handed, with your arm pointed straight out, elbow locked like that--you'd break your elbow pretty easily. The makai hand cannon (and, to a newer extent, the deepshadow revolver) also wouldn't necessarily be fired with one hand for no reason; generally you still use two hands to fire a handgun, although it isn't quite as painful to do otherwise. Hilariously, the sprint animation looks akin to how one would sprint with a rifle, implying that the unheated shots are meant to be rifle-based animations, and the heated ones are us flipping about with a rifle in hand.

My understanding of the OP is it's a request for the devs to decide whether MCH uses handguns or rifles and to stick with it. I'd prefer it be rifles, because it opens up Corsair as a possible future job ^u^
