Actually, the Slammers fire the bullet directly, but else you're right. All methods have their pros and cons, so you might want to think a little about which method you'll use. Let's list them down, just because i'm bored:
- The TDExplosive method, which involves firing an instantly detonating TDExplosive, which then gibs into the required shot. This allows you to fire exceedingly heavy shots with very little recoil, and the shot generally behaves as if you shot it directly from the weapon. However, the shot appears one frame after the actual shot, meaning that it'll be displaced from the guns muzzle. Also, if the TDExplosive is obstructed by anything, weird ♥♥♥♥ happens.
- The AEmitter method, which involves firing an AEmitter at 0 speed, which then subsequently fires the actual shot. Once again it allows you to fire otherwise suicidial rounds, as well as add some pretty firing effects easily, but it makes the shot unable to inherit your own speed, meaning that you could shoot yourself if you were travelling faster than the bullet. It also behaves oddly if you fire forwards while travelling backwards. Unlike the TDExplosive, however, point-blanking things is still fully effective.
- And the Lua method, which uses Lua to make an otherwise light round into a heavy round after you've fired it. The only weird thing i've seen so far, is that people can get hit by the round before it becomes heavy, resulting in a greatly reduced impact. Especially when the difference is 970 kg.
As Duh said, you can find examples of all three in the two packs.
TL;DR: Choose method carefully.
