If the bullet can penetrate the prop and the prop is placed less than 200 units from the muzzle:

The white tracer will display that it was reflected at the point of impact, but in fact it was reflected at the muzzle.

_k_o_t_ on Discord:
A real bullet will change its trajectory far earlier before impact or after penetration or at the "right" point
_k_o_t_ on Discord:
The bullet will not ricochet when it should, because it will ricoshet straight down.
_k_o_t_ on Discord:
This can be fixed by placing something in the intended path, but a bounced projectile will not cause any damage to players or props, except for entities such as ammoboxes. And the prop must be closer than 200 units.

if the bullet ricochets from a perpendicular prop at a height of 200 units from the ground, it will slowly rain down

i've had a bunch of crashes from shooting water, those richochets from water seem to have insane damage
Idk in what class of world this could fail entirely. Have you checked this is purely clientside? Or is the real bullet (no effect bullet) being compromised?
Afaik, the debugging tracers im seeing shows the serverside bullet (the real one). Waiting for RDC for further responses.

HE shells (any shell that can bounce) when must bounce go downwards and blow up your wheels/explode immediately if hit angled plate
_k_o_t_ on Discord:
also KE projectile like APFSDS won't penetrate any armor thickness after bouncing if it didn't hit anything before bouncing. <10 deg angled UFPs are good
