-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] You need to do some sort of swept collision, which for bullets is normally tracelines. You can simulate the bullet gravity/drop yourself very easily, and just do a traceline from last position to this position each timestep. The traceline doesn't have to extend across the world as soon as the weapon fires.
