Q3A Bounding Boxes -- 10:12 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

There was some concern expressed that the larger models in Quake 3 Arena (like Tank Jr.) would be larger targets than the other, shorter models. Quakeheads contacted id's Paul Jaquays who spake thusly:
They'll [larger models] be easier to see ... but the bounding boxes are the same size.
A bounding box is the invisible box around a model that the game uses for collision detection (with another player, a rocket, or whatever). Thus it will be just as easy to hit Daemia as it will be to hit Tank Jr. Of course, you aren't going to be able to hide as Tank Jr., either.
