The old gotcha and his understandable bullets... I'm with you about this,
new modders need lua to do everything in cc, but hey, that's how things work now
devices don't really shoot, actors are just bunch of glows luaed and dinosaurs like
us don't know what's going on anymore

Nobody remember "ghost" made by purple? he sure was a great assassin
and had exploding bullets in his sniper rifle... B18 if I recall correctly...

IMHO it is the exact opposite, Lua is simple and ini is an undocumented mess. Besides, when you spawn a projectile by firing an emitter there is always a risk of the user hitting itself, since the emissions can not be set to safe for the grandparent (e.i. the shooter). Thats why you would sometimes lose a limb when firing the pre B26 Coa heavy sniper rifle.

Tell me about it.

If you change the bullet from a MOPixel into a single pixel MOSRotating, you should be able to add gibs to it no problem.

edit: it might be a bit more trouble adding a tail to the bullet, but you can just attach a MOPixel with a tail to the bullet, or if MOPixels can't be attached (Memory blurry), you can always attach an AEmitter and have a coalition heavy sniper rifle like trail.

edit2: This is all hypothetical and I have tested none of this.

If I recall correctly a MOSRotating has to be at least 2x2 to be able to gib and not just disappear randomly
