As someone who's been involved with modding the game (including damage and weapon accuracy) since 2005, I can tell you there's no such thing in the game. You got very unlucky. There's no need reading some sort of design into what was just a weird incident.
Granted, there's still some pretty inconsistent behaviour in the game, but "ragequitting" because of something that the game isn't actually doing doesn't seem very intelligent.
