Making Ballistic Arc

[Maestro]

I'm working on the gameplay ideas stage of a mod, I don't have any coding skill I just write story/gameplay side of things but I'm wondering if it's possible to make bullets arc. The crossbow has a ballistic arc, but I'm wondering if that's a property of slower projectiles or if you can make bullets do the same thing.

Yes, this is possible, I'm not sure if you can do it with normal bullets though as they impact instantaneously IIRC, but if you make another weapon with a physical projectile (like the cbow bolt) you can code in bullet drop etc.

But it can, however, move at the speed of a bullet right?

You can make it move as fast as you want it to. I imagine it's also possible to code bullet-drop for normal bullets (just by making the bullet hit lower with a range-based algorithm) but I'm not a coder so I'm not 100% on that.
