You sure? I know Stefan said "it is possible", but can you link me to something where he says that this feature is certain?

So with a 0.01 second timeout bullets could be made up to 5 times faster without becoming glitchy.

Faster speed is already possible with custom projectiles (which I've already made with the help of cvimes), you just have to check for walls between the bullets current location and where it will move to before the next frame. The only difference is that the bullets are still only drawing every .05 seconds.

And gun stats will be able to be a lot more diverse than just the standard 0.10 freeze, 0.20 fire rate.

All of the .17s and .18s that noobies put will actually mean something!

I'm assuming you'd set a serveroption to adjust the frame rate so that everything would run at 100FPS
