Hitscan
Aim
Technical
Hitscan is one of the types of shots. The other notable one being projectile.
Hitscan is defined by not having a projectile that itself has a velocity, and trajectory to account into aiming.
Instead, the damage is calculated immediately on hit. A hit is generally considered a shot with the crosshair on the enemy, unless there's a barrier, shield, wall, etc. in between.
