Halo Infinite: Explosive Barrel throw arc?

Does anyone else have any issues with picking up the explosive barrels and throwing them? It’s very fun to get a frag with one, but three times now I’ve picked one up knowing enemies are coming, enemies come into view, I throw the barrel only for it to explode right in my face.

My assumption is that you throw it from your side and not over head/straight on like a grenade, so the barrel hits the wall to my side when I throw em. Just curious to see if anyone else has noticed this, I guess they would be pretty OP if you could throw them willy nilly but there’s been a few really good plays just ruined because the thing collides with something the instant I hit the throw button!

I have committed several comical suicides this way.

You’re not the only one.

It’s almost like throwing a football from what I’ve noticed.
