Is there a way of shooting more than one type of ammo out of a gun other than Tracer rounds
So a single gun could fire *maybe* 3 different types of ammo in one shot instead of the tracer being every two shots

Knowledge wanted XD

Look at the code for the mauler shotgun, I think it fires 2 kinds in one shot.

Yes and no.

Yes it's possible, but you're going to need to learn some lua first.

What? You just need to get a gun that shoots an explosive the blows up instantly, with the ammo you want as gibs. Or an emitter, but the emitter has a chance to hit yourself if you're moving too fast.

I realize you wanted to do this yourself, but I could not resist implementing it.

There are obviously many way of doing this. The method I chose keeps track of the ID of the actor that fires the weapon so the script knows which type of bullet is next for each gun. Using the ID is not perfect since it can change at any time, but this is not a serious problem here. One benefit of tracking the actor is that we can implement a recoil system that makes automatic fire gradually more inaccurate.

Anyone is free to use this:

This is only a demonstration so there is plenty of room for improvements though.

Oh right. I misunderstood the OP.
