Kinda like something I did to my car some years back. I used a reflective tape the same colour as the car, so it was very difficult to see in the daytime, but shine headlights on it from behind, and it glowed.
The thing I was trying to get at though is that it only happens on some maps.

It's got a pretty distinct fade to it, unlike other weapons. Idk.

Edit: Maybe you are right though. I guess it's not something I'd notice very often because I don't play with models on. Just seemed weird that some details fade out and kind of make others more noticeable.
