*'''Supersonic:''' - If checked, the sound emanates from the point of the projectile's path closest to the listener (Think bullets whizzing by your head).  If unchecked, the sound emmiter follows the projectile around until it is destroyed (Think rockets flying through the air).

*'''Hitscan:''' If checked, the projectile will instantly ray-trace whether the target is impacted or not without performing in-flight collision detection and ballistic simulation.  The damage will still be delayed according to the projectile speed versus the distance to the target.
*'''Hitscan:''' If checked, this is a projectile that immediately impacts its target (no art is drawn to screen).
*'''Can be Disabled:''' This is used for projectiles that can be deactivated, such as mines.

== Notes ==
* If '''Gravity''' is non-zero and '''Hitscan''' is false, the 3D projectile will be simulated in game at all times, rather than just in VATS.
* Regardless of the '''Hitscan''' setting, full ballistic flight modelling is always performed in VATS.
