I'm trying to do exactly the same of this: https://streamable.com/u1wogh

The crosshair part only happens when the camera is in third person mode.
I tried to use CG_Trace inside CG_DrawCrosshair function in cg_draw.c.
I manipulated Y-axis for the crosshair, but no success:
Code:
trap_R_DrawStretchPic( x + cg.refdef.x + 0.5 * (cg.refdef.width - w),
      y + trace.endpos[2] /*cg.refdef.y*/ + 0.5 * (cg.refdef.height - h),
      w, h, 0, 0, 1, 1, hShader );

I used ZEQ2-Lite source code to look where is the feature, I'm not doing pretty well though.
Possibly, some game mod did the same, but idk and I don't have references of this stuff. BFP is the only game mod I see about.
A guy gave me a tip that the view came from the head and could be extracted from a refEntity_t variable.

I hope to obtain any help to reach this goal.
