Using Nitro after already having Nitro and reloading causes the hand vfx to stay forever, causing extreme frame rate drops

Summary

If you have the Nitro effect, using a second thing of Nitro, then reloading a gun will cause the effect that appears on your hands while reloading to stay forever. This can stack an infinite number of times and will cause extreme frame rate drops after only a couple stacks of the hand vfx.
