As soon as you click, the damage from your shot is instantly dealt to whatever you're targeting, you don't have to wait for the animation of the bullet to actually hit the target. Supra is a great example of a non-hit scan weapon, where you have to wait for Supra's laser shots to hit a target before the damage is dealt.



See how there's travel time between when the fire button's clicked and when the bullet actually hits the target (or misses, [u]because[/u] of that travel time)? That's a textbook example of a non-hit scan weapon. Supra's probably the best example of a weapon's non-hit scan status being a huge disadvantage, but most weapons that aren't hitscan are perfectly fine. Dera, Boltor, any of the bows, Acrid, Stug, Torid, Ogris, Tonkor; The list goes on. Wether or not you want to compensate for a little (or a lot of) extra travel time is up to you.
