This is caused by the spawning position of the bullets. They doesn't spawn at the center of the player, so they doesn't fly to the mouse position, they fly forward from that position.\r<br\/>But I will look into the source, if I missed something."},{"author_name":"cinnamonmelonpig","author_uid":"20526","time":"Apr 18, 2016 @ 4:54pm","epoch":1460998140,"text":"Very well executed!
