Much more compact shotgun message#

Note

This message is used to make a client approximate a 'spray' of gunfire.
Any weapon that fires more than one bullet per frame and fires in a bit
of a spread is a good candidate for MULTIGUNSHOT use. (shotguns)

Note

This effect makes the client do traces for each bullet, these client
traces ignore entities that have studio models.Traces are 4096 long.
