Multiplayer weapons should usually be predicted and so should be written as shared code and use the DECLARE_NETWORKCLASS. If you look at the definition of the macro, you'll see how it compiles on both the client and the server.

There seems to be a significant difference. The SDK weapons use the DECLARE_NETWORKCLASS() and DECLARE_PREDICTABLE() macros, then that source file is compiled into both the server and client. The HL2 weapons on the other hand use the DECLARE_SERVERCLASS() macro and a data table. Both these methods seem 'networked for multiplayer', and in the "Entity Networking" doc only SERVERCLASS is discussed. What is the preferred method for multiplayer and why?
