+# Editor Tools Guide
+
+This guide covers the specialized editor tools and workflows provided by EasyBallistics for creating and managing ballistic assets.
+
+## Asset Creation System
+
+### Ballistics Category
+
+EasyBallistics adds a dedicated "Ballistics" category to the Content Browser asset creation menu:
+
+1. **Right-click** in Content Browser
+2. Navigate to **Ballistics** category
+3. Choose from available asset types:
+   - **Bullet Properties** - Define projectile characteristics
+   - **Material Response Map** - Configure surface interactions
+   - **Mathematical Material Properties** - Advanced material definitions
+
+### Asset Factories
+
+The plugin includes specialized asset factories for streamlined creation:
+
+```cpp
+// Bullet Properties Factory
+class FEBBulletPropertiesFactory : public UFactory
+{
+public:
+    FEBBulletPropertiesFactory()
+    {
+        SupportedClass = UEBBulletPropertiesAsset::StaticClass();
+        bCreateNew = true;
+        bEditAfterNew = true;
+    }
+    
+    virtual UObject* FactoryCreateNew(UClass* Class, UObject* InParent, 
+                                    FName Name, EObjectFlags Flags,
+                                    UObject* Context, 
+                                    FFeedbackContext* Warn) override
+    {
+        return NewObject<UEBBulletPropertiesAsset>(InParent, Class, Name, Flags);
+    }
+};
+```
+
+## Physical Material Integration
+
+### Enhanced Material Editor
+
+EasyBallistics extends the Physical Material editor with ballistic properties:
+
+#### Auto-Configuration
+- **Smart Detection**: Automatically configures properties based on material names
+- **Common Presets**: Steel, wood, concrete, fabric presets
+- **One-Click Setup**: Generate appropriate ballistic properties instantly
+
+#### Custom Properties Panel
+```cpp
+// Custom details panel for Physical Materials
+class FEBPhysicalMaterialCustomization : public IDetailCustomization
+{
+public:
+    virtual void CustomizeDetails(IDetailLayoutBuilder& DetailBuilder) override
+    {
+        // Add ballistic properties section
+        IDetailCategoryBuilder& BallisticsCategory = 
+            DetailBuilder.EditCategory("Ballistics");
+            
+        // Add custom property widgets
+        BallisticsCategory.AddCustomRow(LOCTEXT("CreateBallistics", "Create Ballistics"))
+        .WholeRowContent()
+        [
+            SNew(SButton)
+            .Text(LOCTEXT("CreateNew", "Create New Ballistic Properties"))
+            .OnClicked(this, &FEBPhysicalMaterialCustomization::OnCreateNewClicked)
+        ];
+    }
+};
+```
+
+### Material Property Creation
+
+#### Automatic Property Generation
+```cpp
+// Auto-generate properties based on material name
+UEBMaterialPropertiesAsset* AutoGenerateProperties(UPhysicalMaterial* PhysMat)
+{
+    FString MaterialName = PhysMat->GetName().ToLower();
+    
+    if (MaterialName.Contains("steel") || MaterialName.Contains("metal"))
+    {
+        return CreateSteelProperties();
+    }
+    else if (MaterialName.Contains("wood"))
+    {
+        return CreateWoodProperties();
+    }
+    else if (MaterialName.Contains("concrete"))
+    {
+        return CreateConcreteProperties();
+    }
+    
+    return CreateDefaultProperties();
+}
+```
+
+#### Property Templates
+```cpp
+// Steel template
+FMathematicalMaterialProperties CreateSteelProperties()
+{
+    FMathematicalMaterialProperties Props;
+    Props.DensityGPerCm3 = 7.85f;
+    Props.MaterialHardness = 200.0f;
+    Props.TensileStrengthMPa = 400.0f;
+    Props.BallisticLimitVelocity = 800.0f;
+    return Props;
+}
+
+// Wood template
+FMathematicalMaterialProperties CreateWoodProperties()
+{
+    FMathematicalMaterialProperties Props;
+    Props.DensityGPerCm3 = 0.6f;
+    Props.MaterialHardness = 20.0f;
+    Props.TensileStrengthMPa = 50.0f;
+    Props.BallisticLimitVelocity = 300.0f;
+    return Props;
+}
+```
+
+## Asset Type Actions

+## Editor Preferences
+
+### Plugin Settings
+
+```cpp
+// Settings panel for EasyBallistics editor tools
+UCLASS(config=EditorPerProjectUserSettings)
+class EASYBALLISTICSEDITOR_API UEBEditorSettings : public UObject
+{
+    GENERATED_BODY()

+// Register settings with editor
+void FEasyBallisticsEditorModule::RegisterSettings()
+{
+    if (ISettingsModule* SettingsModule = FModuleManager::GetModulePtr<ISettingsModule>("Settings"))
+    {
+        SettingsModule->RegisterSettings("Project", "Plugins", "EasyBallistics",
+            LOCTEXT("RuntimeSettingsName", "EasyBallistics"),
+            LOCTEXT("RuntimeSettingsDescription", "Configure EasyBallistics plugin"),
+            GetMutableDefault<UEBEditorSettings>()
+        );
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Asset Organization
+
+1. **Consistent Naming**: Use clear, descriptive names for ballistic assets
+2. **Folder Structure**: Organize by caliber, weapon type, or material category
+3. **Version Control**: Use proper check-in practices for shared assets
+4. **Documentation**: Add descriptions to asset properties
+
+### Performance in Editor
+
+1. **Disable Debug Visualization**: Turn off when not needed
+2. **Limit Asset Count**: Don't load too many ballistic assets simultaneously
+3. **Use Asset References**: Prefer soft references in editor tools
+4. **Profile Editor Tools**: Monitor performance of custom panels
+
+### Workflow Optimization
+
+1. **Template Assets**: Create template assets for common configurations
+2. **Batch Operations**: Use batch tools for large-scale updates
+3. **Validation Tools**: Implement asset validation for quality assurance
+4. **Import/Export**: Use CSV tools for external data integration
+
+## Troubleshooting Editor Issues
+
+### Common Problems
+
+| Issue | Solution |
+|-------|----------|
+| Custom panels not appearing | Check module dependencies and registration |
+| Asset thumbnails not showing | Verify thumbnail renderer registration |
+| Properties not saving | Ensure MarkPackageDirty() is called |
+| Performance issues | Disable debug features, optimize custom widgets |
+
+### Debug Tools
+
+- Use **Output Log** to monitor editor messages
+- Enable **Developer Tools** for additional debugging
+- Check **Asset Registry** for asset loading issues
+- Profile with **Unreal Insights** for performance analysis

+# Migration Guide
+
+This guide helps you migrate from older versions of EasyBallistics to the latest version (2.83+), including the new Ballistic Impact System and Physical Material integration.
+
+## Overview
+
+Version 2.83 introduces significant architectural changes:
+
+- **New Ballistic Impact System**: Event-driven impact handling
+- **Physical Material Integration**: Seamless UE5 workflow
+- **Enhanced Asset Creation**: Streamlined editor tools
+- **Performance Improvements**: Better pooling and LOD systems
+
+## Breaking Changes
+
+### 1. Material Response System
+
+**Old System** (2.8x and earlier):
+```cpp
+// Material Response Map used string keys
+MaterialResponseMap->Map.Add("Steel", SteelResponse);
+MaterialResponseMap->Map.Add("Wood", WoodResponse);
+```
+
+**New System** (2.83+):
+```cpp
+// Material Response Map uses Physical Material references
+MaterialResponseMap->Map.Add(SteelPhysicalMaterial, SteelResponse);
+MaterialResponseMap->Map.Add(WoodPhysicalMaterial, WoodResponse);
+```
+
+**Migration Steps**:
+1. Convert string keys to Physical Material references
+2. Assign Physical Materials to all surface meshes
+3. Update any Blueprint logic that references material names
+
+### 2. Impact Event System
+
+**Old System**:
+```cpp
+// Old impact event signature
+DECLARE_DYNAMIC_MULTICAST_DELEGATE_ThreeParams(FOnOldImpact,
+    FVector, Location,
+    FVector, Normal,
+    FString, MaterialName);
+```
+
+**New System**:
+```cpp
+// New impact event signature
+DECLARE_DYNAMIC_MULTICAST_DELEGATE_FiveParams(FOnBallisticImpact,
+    FVector, ImpactLocation,
+    FVector, ImpactNormal,
+    UPhysicalMaterial*, HitMaterial,
+    float, PenetrationDepth,
+    bool, bDidPenetrate);
+```
+
+**Migration Steps**:
+1. Update event binding signatures
+2. Replace string material checks with Physical Material references
+3. Use new penetration depth and success parameters
+
+### 3. Component Architecture
+
+**Old System**:
+```cpp
+// Impact logic was built into bullet class
+class AEBBullet : public AActor
+{
+    // All impact logic here
+    void ProcessImpact(FHitResult Hit);
+};
+```
+
+**New System**:
+```cpp
+// Impact logic separated into component
+class AEBBullet : public AActor
+{
+    UPROPERTY(VisibleAnywhere, BlueprintReadOnly)
+    UEBBallisticImpactComponent* BallisticImpactComponent;
+    
+    UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite)
+    bool UseNewImpactSystem = false; // Migration flag
+};
+```
+
+## Step-by-Step Migration
+
+### Phase 1: Preparation
+
+1. **Backup Your Project**
+   - Create a full project backup
+   - Commit all changes to version control
+   - Document current implementation
+
+2. **Inventory Assets**
+   - List all Material Response Maps
+   - Identify surfaces using ballistic materials
+   - Note custom impact event handlers
+
+3. **Create Physical Materials**
+   ```cpp
+   // Create Physical Materials for each surface type
+   // Steel
+   UPhysicalMaterial* PM_Steel = CreateDefaultSubobject<UPhysicalMaterial>("PM_Steel");
+   
+   // Wood  
+   UPhysicalMaterial* PM_Wood = CreateDefaultSubobject<UPhysicalMaterial>("PM_Wood");
+   
+   // Add ballistic properties (auto-generated based on names)
+   ```
+
+### Phase 2: Asset Migration
+
+1. **Update Material Response Maps**
+   ```cpp
+   // Migration function for Material Response Maps
+   void MigrateMaterialResponseMap(UEBMaterialResponseMap* Map)
+   {
+       // Create new map with Physical Material keys
+       TMap<UPhysicalMaterial*, FEBMaterialResponseMapEntry> NewMap;
+       
+       for (const auto& Entry : Map->OldStringMap)
+       {
+           FString MaterialName = Entry.Key;
+           UPhysicalMaterial* PhysMat = FindOrCreatePhysicalMaterial(MaterialName);
+           
+           if (PhysMat)
+           {
+               NewMap.Add(PhysMat, Entry.Value);
+           }
+       }
+       
+       Map->Map = NewMap;
+       Map->OldStringMap.Empty(); // Clear old data
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. **Assign Physical Materials**
+   ```cpp
+   // Assign Physical Materials to static meshes
+   void AssignPhysicalMaterials()
+   {
+       TArray<AActor*> StaticMeshActors;
+       UGameplayStatics::GetAllActorsOfClass(GetWorld(), AStaticMeshActor::StaticClass(), StaticMeshActors);
+       
+       for (AActor* Actor : StaticMeshActors)
+       {
+           AStaticMeshActor* MeshActor = Cast<AStaticMeshActor>(Actor);
+           UStaticMeshComponent* MeshComp = MeshActor->GetStaticMeshComponent();
+           
+           // Auto-assign based on mesh name or material
+           UPhysicalMaterial* PhysMat = DeterminePhysicalMaterial(MeshActor);
+           MeshComp->SetPhysMaterialOverride(PhysMat);
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+
+### Phase 3: Code Migration
+
+1. **Update Event Handlers**
+   ```cpp
+   // Old event handler
+   UFUNCTION()
+   void HandleOldImpact(FVector Location, FVector Normal, FString MaterialName)
+   {
+       if (MaterialName == "Steel")
+       {
+           SpawnSteelImpactEffect(Location, Normal);
+       }
+   }
+   
+   // New event handler
+   UFUNCTION()
+   void HandleNewImpact(FVector ImpactLocation, FVector ImpactNormal, 
+                       UPhysicalMaterial* HitMaterial, float PenetrationDepth, bool bDidPenetrate)
+   {
+       if (HitMaterial == SteelPhysicalMaterial)
+       {
+           SpawnSteelImpactEffect(ImpactLocation, ImpactNormal);
+           
+           // Use new parameters
+           if (bDidPenetrate)
+           {
+               SpawnPenetrationEffect(ImpactLocation, PenetrationDepth);
+           }
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. **Enable New Impact System**
+   ```cpp
+   // Enable new system on bullets
+   void EnableNewImpactSystem()
+   {
+       // For existing bullets
+       for (TSubclassOf<AEBBullet> BulletClass : AllBulletClasses)
+       {
+           AEBBullet* CDO = BulletClass.GetDefaultObject();
+           CDO->UseNewImpactSystem = true;
+           
+           // Ensure component exists
+           if (!CDO->BallisticImpactComponent)
+           {
+               CDO->BallisticImpactComponent = CreateDefaultSubobject<UEBBallisticImpactComponent>(TEXT("BallisticImpactComponent"));
+           }
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+
+### Phase 4: Testing and Validation
+
+1. **Create Test Scenarios**
+   ```cpp
+   // Test impact system
+   void TestImpactSystem()
+   {
+       // Test different materials
+       TestMaterialImpact(SteelPhysicalMaterial);
+       TestMaterialImpact(WoodPhysicalMaterial);
+       TestMaterialImpact(ConcretePhysicalMaterial);
+       
+       // Test penetration
+       TestPenetrationDepth();
+       TestRicochetBehavior();
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. **Validate Performance**
+   ```cpp
+   // Performance comparison
+   void ValidatePerformance()
+   {
+       float OldSystemTime = BenchmarkOldSystem();
+       float NewSystemTime = BenchmarkNewSystem();
+       
+       UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("Performance Comparison:"));
+       UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("Old System: %.3f ms"), OldSystemTime);
+       UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("New System: %.3f ms"), NewSystemTime);
+       UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("Improvement: %.1f%%"), 
+              ((OldSystemTime - NewSystemTime) / OldSystemTime) * 100.0f);
+   }
+   ```

+            "Steel", "Wood", "Concrete", "Glass", "Fabric"
+        };
+        
+        for (const FString& MaterialName : CommonMaterials)
+        {

+        }
+    }
+    
+    static void MigrateAllMaterialResponseMaps()
+    {
+        TArray<UEBMaterialResponseMap*> AllMaps;
+        FindAllAssetsOfClass(AllMaps);
+        
+        for (UEBMaterialResponseMap* Map : AllMaps)

+            Map->MarkPackageDirty();
+        }
+    }
+};
+```
+
+### Material Name Mapping
+
+```cpp
+// Map common material names to Physical Materials
+class FMaterialNameMapper
+{
+public:
+    static UPhysicalMaterial* MapNameToPhysicalMaterial(const FString& MaterialName)
+    {
+        static TMap<FString, FString> NameMapping = {
+            {"Steel", "PM_Steel"},
+            {"Metal", "PM_Steel"},
+            {"Iron", "PM_Steel"},
+            {"Wood", "PM_Wood"},
+            {"Wooden", "PM_Wood"},
+            {"Timber", "PM_Wood"},
+            {"Concrete", "PM_Concrete"},
+            {"Stone", "PM_Concrete"},
+            {"Glass", "PM_Glass"},
+            {"Fabric", "PM_Fabric"},
+            {"Cloth", "PM_Fabric"}
+        };
+        
+        FString* MappedName = NameMapping.Find(MaterialName);
+        if (MappedName)
+        {
+            return LoadObject<UPhysicalMaterial>(nullptr, **MappedName);
+        }
+        
+        return nullptr;
+    }
+};
+```
+
+## Blueprint Migration
+
+### Old Blueprint Pattern
+
+```blueprint
+// Old impact event handling
+Event OnImpact (Location, Normal, MaterialName)
+    → Branch (MaterialName == "Steel")
+        → True: Spawn Steel Impact Effect
+        → False: Branch (MaterialName == "Wood")
+            → True: Spawn Wood Impact Effect
+```
+
+### New Blueprint Pattern
+
+```blueprint
+// New impact event handling
+Event OnBallisticImpact (ImpactLocation, ImpactNormal, HitMaterial, PenetrationDepth, bDidPenetrate)
+    → Switch on Physical Material (HitMaterial)
+        → Steel: Spawn Steel Impact Effect
+        → Wood: Spawn Wood Impact Effect
+        → Default: Spawn Generic Impact Effect
+    → Branch (bDidPenetrate)
+        → True: Spawn Penetration Effect (using PenetrationDepth)
+```
+
+## Common Migration Issues
+
+### Issue 1: Missing Physical Materials
+
+**Problem**: Material Response Map entries pointing to null Physical Materials
+
+**Solution**:
+```cpp
+// Validate and fix missing materials
+void FixMissingPhysicalMaterials(UEBMaterialResponseMap* Map)
+{
+    for (auto& Entry : Map->Map)
+    {
+        if (!Entry.Key)
+        {
+            UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("Found null Physical Material in response map"));
+            // Create default material or remove entry
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Issue 2: Performance Regression
+
+**Problem**: New system performing slower than old system
+
+**Solution**:
+```cpp
+// Optimize new system
+void OptimizeNewSystem()
+{
+    // Enable object pooling
+    Bullet->EnablePooling = true;
+    
+    // Optimize impact component
+    Bullet->BallisticImpactComponent->bEnableBallisticCalculations = true;
+    Bullet->BallisticImpactComponent->bUseMathematicalPenetration = false; // For performance
+}
+```
+
+### Issue 3: Event Not Firing
+
+**Problem**: New impact events not triggering
+
+**Solution**:
+```cpp
+// Ensure proper component setup
+void FixEventBinding()
+{
+    // Verify component exists
+    if (!Bullet->BallisticImpactComponent)
+    {
+        Bullet->BallisticImpactComponent = NewObject<UEBBallisticImpactComponent>(Bullet);
+    }
+    
+    // Bind events
+    Bullet->BallisticImpactComponent->OnBallisticImpact.AddDynamic(
+        this, &AMyActor::HandleBallisticImpact);
+}
+```

+# Multiplayer Guide
+
+This guide covers implementing EasyBallistics in multiplayer environments, including server authority, client prediction, and network optimization.
+
+## Architecture Overview
+
+EasyBallistics uses a hybrid approach for multiplayer:
+
+- **Server Authority**: All impact calculations and final results
+- **Client Prediction**: Immediate visual feedback for responsive gameplay
+- **Reconciliation**: Smooth correction of prediction errors
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+    participant C as Client
+    participant S as Server
+    participant O as Other Clients
+    
+    C->>S: Fire Request (RPC)
+    S->>S: Validate & Spawn Bullet
+    S->>O: Replicate Bullet Spawn
+    C->>C: Predict Trajectory
+    S->>O: Authoritative Impact
+    Note over C,O: Reconcile if needed
+```
+
+## Core Networking Components
+
+### Server Authority
+
+All authoritative actions require server validation:
+
+```cpp
+// Server-side weapon firing
+UFUNCTION(Server, Reliable, WithValidation)
+void FireWeapon(FVector AimDirection)
+{
+    // Validate player can fire
+    if (!CanFire())
+        return;
+    
+    // Spawn bullet on server
+    SpawnBulletOnServer(AimDirection);
+}
+
+bool FireWeapon_Validate(FVector AimDirection)
+{
+    // Anti-cheat validation
+    return IsValidDirection(AimDirection) && !IsRateLimited();
+}
+```
+
+### Client Prediction
+
+Immediate visual feedback without waiting for server:
+
+```cpp
+// Client-side prediction
+void PredictiveFire(FVector AimDirection)
+{
+    // Immediate visual effects
+    SpawnMuzzleFlash();
+    PlayFireSound();
+    
+    // Predict bullet trajectory
+    if (EnableClientPrediction)
+    {
+        PredictBulletPath(AimDirection);
+    }
+    
+    // Send to server
+    ServerFire(AimDirection);
+}
+```
+
+## Replication Setup
+
+### Barrel Component Configuration
+
+```cpp
+// In EBBarrel component
+UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = "Replication")

+
+### Bullet Replication
+
+```cpp
+// Configure bullet replication
+Bullet->bReplicates = true;
+Bullet->SetReplicateMovement(true);
+Bullet->ReliableReplication = false; // Use unreliable for performance
+
+// Network optimization
+Bullet->NetCullDistanceSquared = 10000000.0f; // 1000m
+Bullet->NetUpdateFrequency = 20.0f; // 20 updates per second
+```
+
+## Network Optimization
+
+### Bandwidth Management
+
+```cpp
+// Optimize network traffic
+void OptimizeNetworkSettings()
+{
+    // Reduce replication frequency for distant bullets
+    if (DistanceToPlayer > 5000.0f)
+    {
+        Bullet->NetUpdateFrequency = 5.0f;
+    }
+    
+    // Use unreliable replication for position updates
+    Bullet->ReliableReplication = false;
+    
+    // Cull very distant bullets
+    if (DistanceToPlayer > 10000.0f)
+    {
+        Bullet->NetCullDistanceSquared = 0.0f; // Don't replicate
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Object Pooling for Multiplayer
+
+```cpp
+// Enable pooling for better performance
+Bullet->EnablePooling = true;
+Bullet->MaxPoolSize = 50; // Per client
+
+// Server manages pool sizes
+void ManagePoolSizes()
+{
+    int32 PlayerCount = GetNumPlayers();
+    int32 OptimalPoolSize = FMath::Min(100, PlayerCount * 20);
+    
+    for (auto& Bullet : BulletPool)
+    {
+        Bullet->MaxPoolSize = OptimalPoolSize;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Client-Side Prediction
+
+### Prediction System
+
+```cpp
+// Enable prediction for responsive gameplay
+void SetupPrediction()
+{
+    // Enable client prediction
+    Barrel->ClientSideAim = true;
+    Barrel->ClientAimUpdateFrequency = 30.0f;
+    
+    // Bullet prediction settings
+    Bullet->EnableClientPrediction = true;
+    Bullet->PredictionTolerance = 5.0f; // 5cm tolerance
+}
+```
+
+### Prediction Validation
+
+```cpp
+// Validate client predictions
+void ValidatePrediction(FVector ClientLocation, FVector ServerLocation)
+{
+    float Distance = FVector::Dist(ClientLocation, ServerLocation);
+    
+    if (Distance > PredictionTolerance)
+    {
+        // Correct client position
+        CorrectClientPosition(ServerLocation);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Lag Compensation
+
+### Hit Detection
+
+```cpp
+// Compensate for network latency
+void CompensateForLag(APawn* Shooter, FVector HitLocation)
+{
+    float Ping = GetPlayerPing(Shooter);
+    float CompensationTime = Ping * 0.001f; // Convert to seconds
+    
+    // Rewind world state
+    RewindWorldState(CompensationTime);
+    
+    // Perform hit detection
+    bool ValidHit = ValidateHit(HitLocation);
+    
+    // Restore world state
+    RestoreWorldState();
+}
+```
+
+### Movement Prediction
+
+```cpp
+// Predict target movement for hit validation
+FVector PredictTargetLocation(APawn* Target, float CompensationTime)
+{
+    FVector CurrentLocation = Target->GetActorLocation();
+    FVector Velocity = Target->GetVelocity();
+    
+    return CurrentLocation + (Velocity * CompensationTime);
+}
+```
+
+## Anti-Cheat Measures
+
+### Rate Limiting
+
+```cpp
+// Prevent rapid fire exploits
+class FRateLimiter
+{
+private:
+    float LastFireTime;
+    float MinFireInterval;
+    
+public:
+    bool CanFire()
+    {
+        float CurrentTime = GetWorld()->GetTimeSeconds();
+        if (CurrentTime - LastFireTime < MinFireInterval)
+        {
+            return false;
+        }
+        
+        LastFireTime = CurrentTime;
+        return true;
+    }
+};
+```
+
+### Validation Checks
+
+```cpp
+// Validate firing parameters
+bool ValidateFireRequest(FVector AimDirection, float Range)
+{
+    // Check aim direction validity
+    if (AimDirection.IsNearlyZero() || !AimDirection.IsNormalized())
+    {
+        return false;
+    }
+    
+    // Check range limits
+    if (Range > MaxWeaponRange)
+    {
+        return false;
+    }
+    
+    // Check player state
+    if (!IsPlayerAlive() || IsReloading())
+    {
+        return false;
+    }
+    
+    return true;
+}
+```
+
+## Performance Optimization
+
+### LOD System
+
+```cpp
+// Implement Level of Detail for multiplayer
+void UpdateBulletLOD(AEBBullet* Bullet)
+{
+    float Distance = GetDistanceToNearestPlayer(Bullet);
+    
+    if (Distance < 1000.0f)
+    {
+        // High detail
+        Bullet->MaxTracesPerStep = 8;
+        Bullet->FixedStepSeconds = 0.016f;
+    }
+    else if (Distance < 3000.0f)
+    {
+        // Medium detail
+        Bullet->MaxTracesPerStep = 4;
+        Bullet->FixedStepSeconds = 0.033f;
+    }
+    else
+    {
+        // Low detail
+        Bullet->MaxTracesPerStep = 2;
+        Bullet->FixedStepSeconds = 0.066f;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Culling System
+
+```cpp
+// Cull bullets based on relevance
+void CullIrrelevantBullets()
+{
+    for (auto& Bullet : ActiveBullets)
+    {
+        bool IsRelevant = false;
+        
+        // Check if bullet is visible to any player
+        for (auto& Player : Players)
+        {
+            if (IsVisibleTo(Bullet, Player))
+            {
+                IsRelevant = true;
+                break;
+            }
+        }
+        
+        if (!IsRelevant)
+        {
+            Bullet->SetNetDormancy(DORM_DormantAll);
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Event Synchronization
+
+### Impact Events
+
+```cpp
+// Synchronize impact events across clients
+UFUNCTION(NetMulticast, Reliable)
+void MulticastImpactEvent(FVector Location, FVector Normal, 
+                         UPhysicalMaterial* Material)
+{
+    // Spawn impact effects on all clients
+    SpawnImpactEffect(Location, Normal, Material);
+    
+    // Play impact sound
+    PlayImpactSound(Location, Material);
+}
+```
+
+### Custom Events
+
+```cpp
+// Create custom networked events
+DECLARE_DYNAMIC_MULTICAST_DELEGATE_ThreeParams(FOnNetworkedImpact,
+    FVector, Location,
+    float, Damage,
+    AActor*, HitActor);
+
+UPROPERTY(BlueprintAssignable)
+FOnNetworkedImpact OnNetworkedImpact;
+
+// Broadcast to all clients
+void BroadcastImpactEvent(FVector Location, float Damage, AActor* HitActor)
+{
+    if (HasAuthority())
+    {
+        OnNetworkedImpact.Broadcast(Location, Damage, HitActor);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Dedicated Server Optimization
+
+### Server-Specific Settings
+
+```cpp
+// Configure for dedicated server
+void ConfigureForDedicatedServer()
+{
+    if (IsRunningDedicatedServer())
+    {
+        // Disable visual effects
+        Bullet->DebugEnabled = false;
+        Bullet->SpawnMuzzleFlash = false;
+        
+        // Optimize simulation
+        Bullet->MaxTracesPerStep = 4;
+        Bullet->FixedStepSeconds = 0.033f;
+        
+        // Increase pool sizes
+        Bullet->MaxPoolSize = 200;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Memory Management
+
+```cpp
+// Manage server memory usage
+void ManageServerMemory()
+{
+    // Garbage collect unused bullets
+    if (UnusedBullets.Num() > MaxUnusedBullets)
+    {
+        int32 ToRemove = UnusedBullets.Num() - MaxUnusedBullets;
+        for (int32 i = 0; i < ToRemove; i++)
+        {
+            UnusedBullets[i]->Destroy();
+        }
+        UnusedBullets.RemoveAt(0, ToRemove);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Weapon System Integration
+
+```cpp
+// Integrate with multiplayer weapon system
+class AMultiplayerWeapon : public AWeapon
+{
+    UPROPERTY(VisibleAnywhere, Category = "Ballistics")
+    UEBBarrel* BallisticBarrel;
+    
+    UFUNCTION(Server, Reliable, WithValidation)
+    void ServerFire(FVector AimDirection)
+    {
+        if (CanFire())
+        {
+            BallisticBarrel->Fire();
+            MulticastFireEffects();
+        }
+    }
+    
+    UFUNCTION(NetMulticast, Reliable)
+    void MulticastFireEffects()
+    {
+        // Play effects on all clients
+        SpawnMuzzleFlash();
+        PlayFireSound();
+    }
+};
+```
+
+### Player State Integration
+
+```cpp
+// Integrate with player state for persistence
+class ABallisticPlayerState : public APlayerState
+{
+    UPROPERTY(Replicated)
+    int32 ShotsFired;
+    
+    UPROPERTY(Replicated)
+    int32 ShotsHit;
+    
+    UFUNCTION(Server, Reliable)
+    void ServerRecordShot(bool bHit)
+    {
+        ShotsFired++;
+        if (bHit)
+        {
+            ShotsHit++;
+        }
+    }
+};
+```
+
+## Debugging Multiplayer Issues
+
+### Network Debugging
+
+```cpp
+// Debug network issues
+void DebugNetworkIssues()
+{
+    if (GEngine)
+    {
+        // Show network stats
+        GEngine->AddOnScreenDebugMessage(-1, 1.0f, FColor::Yellow,
+            FString::Printf(TEXT("Ping: %.2f ms"), GetPing()));
+        
+        // Show bullet count
+        GEngine->AddOnScreenDebugMessage(-1, 1.0f, FColor::Green,
+            FString::Printf(TEXT("Active Bullets: %d"), ActiveBullets.Num()));
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Console Commands
+
+```cpp
+// Add console commands for debugging
+UFUNCTION(Exec)
+void DebugBallistics()
+{
+    // Toggle debug visualization
+    for (auto& Bullet : ActiveBullets)
+    {
+        Bullet->DebugEnabled = !Bullet->DebugEnabled;
+    }
+}
+
+UFUNCTION(Exec)
+void ShowNetworkStats()
+{
+    // Display network statistics
+    UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("Network Stats: Packets/sec: %d"), 
+           GetNetworkPacketRate());
+}
+```

+# Performance Optimization Guide
+
+This guide covers comprehensive performance optimization strategies for EasyBallistics, helping you achieve optimal performance in your projects.
+
+## Performance Overview
+
+EasyBallistics is designed for high performance, but proper configuration is essential for optimal results. This guide covers:
+
+- **Memory Management**: Object pooling and garbage collection
+- **CPU Optimization**: Simulation quality and LOD systems
+- **Network Optimization**: Bandwidth and replication efficiency
+- **Platform-Specific Tuning**: Console, mobile, and PC optimizations
+
+## Object Pooling
+
+### Why Pooling Matters
+
+Creating and destroying bullet actors is expensive. Pooling reuses existing actors:
+
+```cpp
+// Without pooling: Expensive
+AEBBullet* Bullet = GetWorld()->SpawnActor<AEBBullet>();
+Bullet->Destroy(); // Triggers garbage collection
+
+// With pooling: Efficient
+AEBBullet* Bullet = GetPooledBullet();
+Bullet->Deactivate(); // Returns to pool
+```
+
+### Configuring Pooling
+
+```cpp
+// Enable pooling for high-rate weapons
+Bullet->EnablePooling = true;
+Bullet->MaxPoolSize = 100;
+
+// Configure pool sizes based on weapon type
+void ConfigurePoolingForWeapon(EWeaponType WeaponType)
+{
+    switch (WeaponType)
+    {
+        case EWeaponType::Pistol:
+            Bullet->MaxPoolSize = 20;
+            break;
+        case EWeaponType::AssaultRifle:
+            Bullet->MaxPoolSize = 100;
+            break;
+        case EWeaponType::Minigun:
+            Bullet->MaxPoolSize = 500;
+            break;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Pool Management
+
+```cpp
+// Monitor pool efficiency
+void MonitorPoolEfficiency()
+{
+    int32 PoolSize = BulletPool.Num();
+    int32 ActiveBullets = GetActiveBulletCount();
+    float PoolUtilization = (float)ActiveBullets / PoolSize;
+    
+    // Adjust pool size based on utilization
+    if (PoolUtilization > 0.8f)
+    {
+        // Increase pool size
+        Bullet->MaxPoolSize = FMath::Min(500, Bullet->MaxPoolSize + 50);
+    }
+    else if (PoolUtilization < 0.2f)
+    {
+        // Decrease pool size
+        Bullet->MaxPoolSize = FMath::Max(20, Bullet->MaxPoolSize - 25);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Simulation Quality Scaling
+
+### Level of Detail (LOD)
+
+Scale simulation quality based on distance and importance:
+
+```cpp
+// Implement LOD system
+void UpdateBulletLOD(AEBBullet* Bullet)
+{
+    float Distance = GetDistanceToNearestPlayer(Bullet);
+    bool IsPlayerWeapon = IsPlayerOwnedWeapon(Bullet);
+    
+    if (IsPlayerWeapon || Distance < 1000.0f)
+    {
+        // High detail for player weapons and close bullets
+        Bullet->MaxTracesPerStep = 8;
+        Bullet->FixedStepSeconds = 0.016f; // 60 FPS
+        Bullet->TraceComplex = true;
+    }
+    else if (Distance < 3000.0f)
+    {
+        // Medium detail for medium distance
+        Bullet->MaxTracesPerStep = 4;
+        Bullet->FixedStepSeconds = 0.033f; // 30 FPS
+        Bullet->TraceComplex = false;
+    }
+    else
+    {
+        // Low detail for distant bullets
+        Bullet->MaxTracesPerStep = 2;
+        Bullet->FixedStepSeconds = 0.066f; // 15 FPS
+        Bullet->TraceComplex = false;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Adaptive Quality
+
+```cpp
+// Adjust quality based on performance
+void AdaptiveQualityControl()
+{
+    float CurrentFPS = GetCurrentFPS();
+    float TargetFPS = 60.0f;
+    
+    if (CurrentFPS < TargetFPS * 0.8f)
+    {
+        // Reduce quality
+        ReduceSimulationQuality();
+    }
+    else if (CurrentFPS > TargetFPS * 1.1f)
+    {
+        // Increase quality
+        IncreaseSimulationQuality();
+    }
+}
+
+void ReduceSimulationQuality()
+{
+    // Reduce trace complexity
+    for (auto& Bullet : ActiveBullets)
+    {
+        Bullet->MaxTracesPerStep = FMath::Max(1, Bullet->MaxTracesPerStep - 1);
+        Bullet->FixedStepSeconds = FMath::Min(0.1f, Bullet->FixedStepSeconds + 0.016f);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## CPU Optimization
+
+### Trace Optimization
+
+```cpp
+// Optimize collision traces
+void OptimizeTraces()
+{
+    // Use simple collision for distant bullets
+    if (Distance > 2000.0f)
+    {
+        Bullet->TraceComplex = false;
+    }
+    
+    // Reduce collision channels
+    Bullet->TraceChannel = ECC_WorldStatic; // Faster than ECC_WorldDynamic
+    
+    // Use collision margin to reduce trace frequency
+    Bullet->CollisionMargin = 5.0f; // Skip small gaps
+}
+```
+
+### Multi-Threading
+
+```cpp
+// Parallelize bullet updates
+void ParallelBulletUpdate()
+{
+    // Use async tasks for independent bullets
+    ParallelFor(ActiveBullets.Num(), [&](int32 Index)
+    {
+        AEBBullet* Bullet = ActiveBullets[Index];
+        if (Bullet && Bullet->IsValidLowLevel())
+        {
+            Bullet->UpdatePhysics();
+        }
+    });
+}
+```
+
+### Memory Access Optimization
+
+```cpp
+// Structure of Arrays for better cache performance
+struct FBulletData
+{
+    TArray<FVector> Positions;
+    TArray<FVector> Velocities;
+    TArray<float> Masses;
+    TArray<float> Diameters;
+    
+    void UpdatePhysics(int32 BulletCount, float DeltaTime)
+    {
+        // Vectorized operations
+        for (int32 i = 0; i < BulletCount; i++)
+        {
+            // Cache-friendly sequential access
+            Positions[i] += Velocities[i] * DeltaTime;
+            // Apply drag, gravity, etc.
+        }
+    }
+};
+```
+
+## Memory Management
+
+### Garbage Collection
+
+```cpp
+// Minimize garbage collection pressure
+void MinimizeGarbageCollection()
+{
+    // Reuse containers instead of creating new ones
+    static TArray<FHitResult> HitResults;
+    HitResults.Reset(); // Clear but keep capacity
+    
+    // Use object pooling for frequently created objects
+    static TArray<AEBBullet*> BulletPool;
+    
+    // Avoid frequent string operations
+    static FString CachedString;
+    CachedString = FString::Printf(TEXT("Bullets: %d"), BulletCount);
+}
+```
+
+### Memory Profiling
+
+```cpp
+// Monitor memory usage
+void MonitorMemoryUsage()
+{
+    FGenericPlatformMemory::EMemoryCounterRegion Region = 
+        FGenericPlatformMemory::MCR_Physical;
+    
+    SIZE_T UsedMemory = FGenericPlatformMemory::GetMemoryUsedFast(Region);
+    
+    if (UsedMemory > MaxMemoryThreshold)
+    {
+        // Trigger cleanup
+        TriggerMemoryCleanup();
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Platform-Specific Optimization
+
+### Console Optimization
+
+```cpp
+// Configure for console platforms
+void ConfigureForConsole()
+{
+    #if PLATFORM_CONSOLE
+        // Reduce pool sizes for limited memory
+        Bullet->MaxPoolSize = 50;
+        
+        // Use fixed timestep for consistent performance
+        Bullet->FixedStep = true;
+        Bullet->FixedStepSeconds = 0.033f; // 30 FPS
+        
+        // Disable expensive features
+        Bullet->DebugEnabled = false;
+        Bullet->TraceComplex = false;
+    #endif
+}
+```
+
+### Mobile Optimization
+
+```cpp
+// Configure for mobile platforms
+void ConfigureForMobile()
+{
+    #if PLATFORM_MOBILE
+        // Aggressive optimization for mobile
+        Bullet->MaxPoolSize = 20;
+        Bullet->MaxTracesPerStep = 2;
+        Bullet->FixedStepSeconds = 0.066f; // 15 FPS
+        
+        // Disable advanced features
+        Bullet->UseMathematicalPhysics = false;
+        Bullet->AtmosphereType = EEBAtmosphereType::AT_Constant;
+        
+        // Reduce collision complexity
+        Bullet->TraceComplex = false;
+        Bullet->CollisionMargin = 10.0f;
+    #endif
+}
+```
+
+### PC Optimization
+
+```cpp
+// Configure for PC platforms
+void ConfigureForPC()
+{
+    #if PLATFORM_DESKTOP
+        // Take advantage of more resources
+        Bullet->MaxPoolSize = 200;
+        Bullet->MaxTracesPerStep = 8;
+        
+        // Enable advanced features
+        Bullet->UseMathematicalPhysics = true;
+        Bullet->UseNewImpactSystem = true;
+        
+        // Adaptive quality based on hardware
+        AdaptToHardwareCapabilities();
+    #endif
+}
+```
+
+## Network Optimization
+
+### Bandwidth Optimization
+

+void VisualizePerformance()
+{
+    // Color-code bullets by performance cost
+    for (auto& Bullet : ActiveBullets)
+    {
+        float Cost = CalculatePerformanceCost(Bullet);

+                       10.0f, 12, DebugColor, false, 0.1f);
+    }
+}
+
+FColor GetPerformanceColor(float Cost)

+{
+    ProfilingEnabled = bEnable;
+    if (bEnable)
+    {
+        UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("Ballistics profiling enabled"));
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Performance Guidelines
+
+1. **Always Use Pooling**: Enable object pooling for all bullet types
+2. **Implement LOD**: Scale quality based on distance and importance
+3. **Monitor Performance**: Use profiling tools to identify bottlenecks
+4. **Optimize for Target Platform**: Use platform-specific optimizations
+5. **Batch Operations**: Group similar operations together
+
+### Memory Guidelines
+
+1. **Avoid Frequent Allocation**: Reuse containers and objects
+2. **Use Object Pooling**: Minimize garbage collection pressure
+3. **Monitor Memory Usage**: Set up automatic memory monitoring
+4. **Clean Up Properly**: Ensure bullets are properly deactivated
+
+### Network Guidelines
+
+1. **Reduce Update Frequency**: Lower frequency for distant bullets
+2. **Use Unreliable Replication**: For position updates
+3. **Implement Culling**: Don't replicate irrelevant bullets
+4. **Batch RPCs**: Group multiple operations together
+
+## Common Performance Issues
+
+### Issue: Low Frame Rate
+
+**Symptoms**: 
+- Frame rate drops below 30 FPS
+- Stuttering during intense combat
+
+**Solutions**:
+```cpp
+// Enable object pooling
+Bullet->EnablePooling = true;
+
+// Reduce simulation quality
+Bullet->MaxTracesPerStep = 4;
+Bullet->FixedStepSeconds = 0.033f;
+
+// Implement LOD system
+UpdateBulletLOD(Bullet);
+```
+
+### Issue: High Memory Usage
+
+**Symptoms**:
+- Memory usage continuously increases
+- Out of memory crashes
+
+**Solutions**:
+```cpp
+// Proper cleanup
+void CleanupUnusedBullets()
+{
+    for (int32 i = ActiveBullets.Num() - 1; i >= 0; i--)
+    {
+        AEBBullet* Bullet = ActiveBullets[i];
+        if (!Bullet->IsValidLowLevel() || Bullet->ShouldBeDestroyed())
+        {
+            Bullet->Deactivate();
+            ActiveBullets.RemoveAt(i);
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Issue: Network Lag
+
+**Symptoms**:
+- High network bandwidth usage
+- Desync between clients
+
+**Solutions**:
+```cpp
+// Optimize network settings
+Bullet->NetUpdateFrequency = 10.0f; // Reduce from 20
+Bullet->NetCullDistanceSquared = 5000000.0f; // Cull at 500m
+```

+
+EasyBallistics supports simulating Gatling-style weapons (miniguns) with spool-up and spool-down behavior. This allows for a dynamic fire rate that changes over time.
+
+## Enabling Gatling Mode
+
+To use the Gatling mechanics, you must set the `FireMode` property on the `EBBarrel` component to `Gatling`.
+
+## Core Properties
+
+All Gatling-related properties are found on the `EBBarrel` component.
+
+| Property | Type | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `GatlingAutoSpool` | `bool` | If true, the barrel will automatically start spooling up when the `Shoot` function is called with `Trigger` set to true, and spool down when called with `false`. If false, you must manually control spooling. |
+| `GatlingSpoolUpTime` | `float` | The time in seconds it takes for the barrel to ramp up from zero to its maximum fire rate. |
+| `GatlingSpoolDownTime` | `float` | The time in seconds it takes for the barrel to ramp down from its maximum fire rate to zero after the trigger is released (or `GatlingSpool(false)` is called). |
+| `FireRateMin` | `float` | The rounds-per-second when the Gatling barrel is at its minimum spool (usually 0). |
+| `FireRateMax` | `float` | The rounds-per-second when the Gatling barrel has fully spooled up. |
+
+## Runtime State
+
+You can monitor the state of the Gatling barrel at runtime with these properties:
+
+| Property | Type | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `Spooling` | `bool` | A read-only boolean that is true if the barrel is currently spooling up or down. |
+| `GatlingPhase` | `float` | A read-only value from 0.0 to 1.0 representing the current spool progress. 0 is fully spooled down, and 1 is fully spooled up. |
+| `GatlingRPS` | `float` | The current rounds-per-second of the barrel, based on the `GatlingPhase`. This value is interpolated between `FireRateMin` and `FireRateMax`. |
+
+## Manual Control
+
+If `GatlingAutoSpool` is disabled, you have direct control over the spooling behavior.
+
+### `GatlingSpool` (Function)
+
+This function allows you to manually start and stop the spooling process.
+
+| Parameter | Type | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `Spool` | `bool` | If `true`, the barrel will begin to spool up. If `false`, it will begin to spool down. |
+
+**Example Blueprint Usage:**
+
+You could hook this up to separate key events to allow the player to pre-spool the weapon before firing.
+
+```blueprint
+// On "Spool Up" button pressed:
+MyBarrel->GatlingSpool(true);
+
+// On "Spool Up" button released:
+MyBarrel->GatlingSpool(false);
+```
+
+While manually spooling, you still need to call the `Shoot` function to actually fire bullets. The rate of fire will depend on the `GatlingRPS` at the moment `Shoot` is called.

+title: Trajectory Prediction
+sidebar_label: Trajectory Prediction
+---
+
+EasyBallistics provides powerful Blueprint-callable functions for predicting a bullet's trajectory and calculating the required aim to hit a moving target. These are essential for creating smart AI, aim assists, or target lead indicators.
+
+All prediction functions are located on the `EBBarrel` component.
+
+## Predicting Bullet Impact
+
+These functions simulate the full flight of a virtual bullet and report where it will hit.
+
+### `PredictHit`
+
+Predicts the trajectory and impact point of a bullet fired from the barrel's current position and orientation.
+
+**Outputs:**
+- `Hit` (bool): `true` if an impact is predicted within the `MaxTime`.
+- `TraceResult` (HitResult): The standard Unreal Engine hit result structure.
+- `HitLocation` (Vector): The world-space location of the impact.
+- `HitTime` (float): The predicted time in seconds until impact.
+- `HitActor` (Actor): The actor that was hit.
+- `Trajectory` (`TArray<FVector>`): An array of points representing the predicted flight path.
+
+**Inputs:**
+- `BulletClass` (`TSubclassOf<AEBBullet>`): The bullet to use for the prediction. The simulation will use this bullet's properties (drag, velocity, etc.).
+- `IgnoredActors` (`TArray<AActor*>`): A list of actors to ignore during the trace.
+- `MaxTime` (float): The maximum simulated flight time in seconds.
+- `Step` (float): The time step for the simulation. Smaller values are more accurate but more expensive.
+
+### `PredictHitFromLocation`
+
+This version works identically to `PredictHit`, but allows you to specify a custom starting location and aim direction, rather than using the barrel's transform.
+
+**Additional Inputs:**
+- `StartLocation` (Vector): The world-space location to start the prediction from.
+- `AimDirection` (Vector): The initial direction of fire for the prediction.
+
+## Calculating Aim Direction (Solving for a Hit)
+
+These functions are used to calculate the correct direction to fire in order to hit a moving target. This is often called "target leading".
+
+### `CalculateAimDirection`
+
+Calculates the aim direction required to hit a target, accounting for bullet drop and target velocity.
+
+**Outputs:**
+- `AimDirection` (Vector): The calculated direction you should fire in.
+- `PredictedTargetLocation` (Vector): The predicted location of the target at the moment of impact.
+- `PredictedIntersectionLocation` (Vector): The predicted location of the bullet/target intersection.
+- `PredictedFlightTime` (float): The predicted flight time of the bullet.
+- `Error` (float): A measure of the final aiming error. Lower is better.
+
+**Inputs:**
+- `BulletClass` (`TSubclassOf<AEBBullet>`): The bullet to use for the calculation.
+- `TargetLocation` (Vector): The current world-space location of the target.
+- `TargetVelocity` (Vector): The current velocity of the target in cm/s.
+- `MaxTime`, `Step`, `NumIterations`: Parameters to control the simulation's accuracy and performance. Higher iterations improve the solution.
+
+### `CalculateAimDirectionFromLocation`
+
+This version works identically to `CalculateAimDirection`, but allows you to specify a custom starting location for the shot.
+
+**Additional Inputs:**
+- `StartLocation` (Vector): The world-space location the shot will be fired from.
+
+**Example Use Case (AI):**
+
+An AI character could use `CalculateAimDirection` every tick to get a precise aim vector for the player, then smoothly interpolate its weapon's rotation to match that vector, leading to realistic aiming behavior.

+### Impact Information Widget
+
+EasyBallistics includes a widget to display detailed information about bullet impacts in real-time. This is useful for debugging penetration, ricochets, and material responses.
+
+**How to Enable:**
+
+1.  **Enable on Barrel**: On your `EBBarrel` component, set the `DebugImpactInfo` boolean property to `true`.
+2.  **Create a Widget Blueprint**:
+    *   In the Content Browser, click "Add New" -> "User Interface" -> "Widget Blueprint".
+    *   In the "Pick Parent Class" dialog, search for and select `EBDebugImpactWidget`.
+    *   Name and save your new widget Blueprint. You can customize its appearance here.
+3.  **Assign to Bullet**: On your `EBBullet` asset, find the `DebugWidgetClass` property and assign the Widget Blueprint you just created.
+
+**Displayed Information:**
+
+When enabled, a widget will appear at the location of an impact, showing the following:
+
+*   **Impact Type**: Whether the bullet `RICOCHET`, `PENETRATION`, or was `STOPPED`.
+*   **Material**: The name of the `UPhysicalMaterial` that was hit.
+*   **Velocity**: The bullet's velocity at impact, in meters per second (m/s) and kilometers per hour (km/h).
+*   **Mass**: The effective mass of the bullet in kilograms (kg).
+*   **Diameter**: The effective diameter of the bullet in centimeters (cm).
+*   **Energy**: The kinetic energy of the bullet at impact, in Joules (J).
+*   **Penetration**: The depth of penetration in centimeters (cm).

+## Best Practices
+
+### Performance Optimization
+
+1. **Use Object Pooling**: Always enable pooling for smart ammunition
+2. **Limit Seeking Frequency**: Don't update seeking every tick for distant projectiles
+3. **Optimize Target Detection**: Use spatial partitioning for target finding
+4. **Cache References**: Store frequently accessed components and actors
+
+### Gameplay Balance
+
+1. **Arming Distances**: Prevent exploitation with minimum arming distances
+2. **Proximity Limits**: Set reasonable proximity detection ranges
+3. **Targeting Restrictions**: Limit what can be targeted by smart ammunition
+4. **Countermeasures**: Provide ways to defeat smart ammunition
+
+### Network Considerations
+
+1. **Server Authority**: Ensure explosive damage is calculated on server
+2. **Prediction**: Allow visual effects on clients with server validation
+3. **Bandwidth**: Minimize replication data for smart projectiles
+4. **Synchronization**: Keep attachment states synchronized
