Definition:

Projectile Speed is the initial velocity of a bullet when fired, after accounting for any modifiers. It determines how fast the projectile travels immediately after leaving the barrel, directly influencing range, bullet drop, and hit registration.

Formula:

$$\text{ProjectileSpeed} = initSpeed \times initSpeedMultiplier$$

Where:

  • initSpeed = the base muzzle velocity defined in the weapon or ammo config (m/s)
  • initSpeedMultiplier = a modifier applied by attachments, ammunition, or other factors
