How does guncode work...

...and why am I able to occasionally shoot people positioned around corners? I have the faintest idea mechanically about how it's able to do that, but I've never known why the physics are that way.

When firing/throwing objects on an angle, the shot makes the major adjustment in a nearby tile.

You can fire horizontally (or near enough) while right next to cover/a comrade safely, but vertically you need a square of empty space.

Blue marked tiles are where someone could be hit by an angled vertical shot, red for horizontal.

Basically if you know a gunfight's coming and can get near cover before the enemy turns up, you've got a serious advantage, because you can lean out and shoot him without fear of being hit by return fire.
