I am trying to make a bullet projectile for all machinegun units
only thing that doesn`t work is the projectile speed,
if it is to fast, the projectile won`t show and the weapon does no damage too
if you slow it down, the projectile only shows up if the unit fires on it`s maximum range, and much too late for a real bullet impact effect

code:
weapon.ini

Weapon RangerAdvancedCombatRifle
PrimaryDamage = 5.0
PrimaryDamageRadius = 0.5 ; 0 primary radius means "hits only intended victim"
AttackRange = 100.0
DamageType = SMALL_ARMS
DeathType = NORMAL
WeaponSpeed = 999999.0 ; dist/sec (huge value == effectively instant)
ProjectileObject = Bullet
FireFX = WeaponFX_GenericMachineGunFire
VeterancyFireFX = HEROIC WeaponFX_GenericMachineGunFireWithRedTracers
ProjectileDetonationFX = WeaponFX_BulletImpact
FireSound = RangerWeapon
RadiusDamageAffects = ALLIES ENEMIES NEUTRALS
DelayBetweenShots = 100 ; time between shots, msec
ClipSize = 3 ; how many shots in a Clip (0 == infinite)
ClipReloadTime = 700 ; how long to reload a Clip, msec
WeaponBonus = DRONE_SPOTTING RATE_OF_FIRE 200%
WeaponBonus = DRONE_SPOTTING RANGE 200%
WeaponBonus = DRONE_SPOTTING DAMAGE 200%
End
