Thanks botman, the answers all make sense.

Is the source engine able to do this?

I think it probably depends on how fast you want the bullets to move
through the air.
If you make bullets a tr

1) That would be to easy. The aim of this whole thing
Depends on your firearm. a pistol bullet can travel anywhere from less
than 1000 feet per second (subsonic 9mm pistol rounds) to 2750 FPS
(5.56 nato rifle rounds) or more. a granularity of 1 calculation every
50 meters is, at roughly mach 1, 7 caluclations a second. Well within
server tick rates.
I think HL1 had a trace arch function might try searching for that.

It's really more of a reality issue. HL1 and now HL2, the pistol wins, even
when taking out targets far off in the distance. I mean, really far. Or,
take a simple
Oops, just saw Jay Stelly suggested the gravity thing too. Great minds
think alike ;)

Taking the idea of multiple trace lines to their extreme conclusion...
Different weapons could give lines of different length, thus stopping
pistol-sniping, because the slower bullet would drop to the ground
before it could reach the distant target.
Treating the lines not as a fixed length -durin
