Speed of Weapon Shots...

I think the sniper is the fastest--and invisable. You can see the shock rifles' shot.

pulse secondary, shock primary, sniper, mini, enforcer are all hitscans. there is animation so you can see some of the shots but the actual shot is instant hit.

as for the rest, i dont know the numbers, sorry

wrong, on two counts.

Shock primary IS hit scan.

Mini IS hit scan. It throws out slower, non-hitscan tracer rounds every 1-5 shots, but it is hitscan. Also it works on the same principle (and ammo) as the enforcer so how can one be hitscan and the other not?

To prove the shock is a hitscan weapon: go to a botmatch with 0 bots. Go to Deck 16. Go to the corridor with the Flak, the Sniper rifle and the 5 health vials between two crates.

Go to the Sniper Rifle and aim at the wall where the Flak is. Fire the Shock primary then immediately hit your "playersonly" key. [edit] You'll need to set up a key. in the console, type without quotes, "set input x playersonly" replacing x with any key. [/edit] This should freeze the beam in place. Run down to that wall and check out the scorch mark that should be there now. It is hitscan but the beam animation throws a lot of people off.

As for the Pulse Secondary, well I never tried that yet. I never thought if it was hitscan or not.

the best way to see if it is hitscan or not is while in playersonly mode, fire at a bot. It the wep hits a bot in this mode, then the shot is hitscan. If the shot gets suspended in air, then it is not hitscan.

i was going to go in front of it after firing and then turn playersonly off or hiting the end of ctf-face then go to where it "hit" with it on playersonly mode and fly mode,the minigun is hard to test because you can't fire it in playersonly mode

ok,so i was wrong,it looks like it was and i remember "dodging a minigun bullet" before (must have been a miss anyways) the beams and bullets were what threw me off

Trust me, you are NOT the first to be thrown off by it. You definitely won't be the last.

Interesting though: in playersonly mode you can fire the Shock Rifle as many times as you can before all those beams firing at once crash your system.... but you can only shoot the Enforcer once, and the Mini not at all.

You can also multi-fire the Sniper Rifle. I always thought this strange!

THe flak and ripper allow shots during playersonly mode. Its actually rather beautful to make a cyllander of rippers and go into slomo .01 mode and 'unfreeze' 'em.

i did that a few times,one time i did it with the rl

Technically speaking, the pulse secondary is not hit-scan. For one thing, it has a fairly short range. But anyone in contact with the beam is being hit.

I dunno if Cleaners page has the firing rate of each weapon, but it does have quite a few details regarding weapons.

Actually it does... check here,http://www.unreality.org/cleaned/FAQ/weapons.htm#_Toc478733603
