This is how particles are handled by Byond. The bullet checks for all mobs on its current tile. If there is a standing mob, it deals damage and deletes itself simultaneously. This is a hard limit in Byond and will never be fixed.

Shouldn't shooting at point blank like that make you melee the alien instead anyway? Weird.

If that's the case, it can be fixed. I don't think point blank shots need a projectile.

Please fix. It is painful when you hold a shotgun. AKA : You die.

[Juninho77]

Fixed.
