Why does the moon change size when you snipe it in GTA?

https://insiderockstarnorth.blogspot.com/2023/11/why-does-moon-change-size-when-you.html

Summary: The moon changes size when sniped in GTA due to an unresolved disagreement among artists about its ideal size. A developer linked the sniper rifle to toggle between three moon sizes as a temporary solution, but it was never changed. The idea for Vice City originated as a mission pack for GTA3, but later became a standalone game. After Vice City, the team considered a zombie survival game called "Z," but it was abandoned in favor of San Andreas.
