Well.. accidently stumbled upon this just now. Thought this bug was fixed a while ago or is this only happening because i am running it on a local server?

Do you consider this normal ? What I do is hitting vertically my mouse button with one finger, without holding the mouse at all. It press the mouse button and then the mouse start to move. In the video we can see the contrary happens in game, the camera move and then the shotgun fire.

I tried to follow the path in code from mouse click to bullet fire, but it's quite complicated. But as I understand the firing is linked to animation and is done after the camera has been updated (hard to say though).
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->OnProcessMove->HandleButtons->HandleAttacks->PrimaryAttack->weapon:OnPrimaryAttack->TriggerEffects()->EffectManager:TriggerEffects->InternalTriggerEffect-> ?
In the other direction :
FireBullets<- FirePrimary <- OnTag<- UpdateAnimationState?<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
I've just modded the sound in to play when theres a hit. I dont exactly feel bothered to set up a video recording myself clicking and syncing it with ingame capture. Its illustrating the slight delay between the click and the skulk starting its hit detection thing.

Oh, forgive me if it was already reported. I have no programming knowledge so all i can say is i am very certain i was flicking the mouse only after a click. If you know how to generate an artificial click the results would be really interesting Yuuki! :o.
