The doom3 engine actually does something like this though, not the sine wave part, but the bullet is treated as a real particle and can reflect off of hard surfaces...when bullets go through smoke, the smoke actually spirals, pretty neat eh?
Bullets don't move in a sine wave. Sine waves are periodic. They move in a parabola :) See above. However, calculating the speed every frame due to speed reduction due to air resistance would be an
