Pistols never hit when I join a friends hosted game

My pistols have always worked in my own offline world. When I joined a friends world, I can't hit anything even when I'm nearly at point blank range. I'm thinking it has something to do with the origin being set to my friends character. The reason I think this is there are times when my friend sees my tool tips and vice versa. We've also noticed that deleting building items seems to occasionally switch origin as well (deleted from the other characters perspective).

Please note that I switched back to my world to verify the pistols still work, and they do.

I also crafted a rifle and it seems to work properly in the hosted world.
