The SpawnProjectile as seen in the HeliGun example proxy
A Spawn Projectile is an Intruder MM script that as expected, fires projectiles.
This script handles the actual spawning, movement, ammo, and firing cooldown of the projectile. Other scripts (like Heli Gun) can call it to fire automatically, but Spawn Projectile itself is the part that creates the projectile.

How firing works
The projectile can be fired via Activator by calling:
NetSpawn()
This function:
- Checks if the spawner can fire
- Spawns the projectile slightly in front of the object
- Applies forward force based on Speed
- Applies spread (if set)
- Reduces ammo (if limited)
- Waits for Fire Rate before allowing the next shot
