        * it can cause some issues with the other config variables such as projectile velocities or firerates. Client"s can luckily not cheat by changing the mod's variables, the server will always have the final say,
        * but this will often lead to the client incorrectly rendering what is happening in the game world (client rendering the projectiles at incorrect speeds, glitches, bugs etc...).
        * To prevent synchronization issues, we would have to find a way to sync the server's variables with the client. UnrealScript"s Variable replication could possibly provide an answer to this.
