It also breaks prediction which is noticeable on servers with high ping.

@LevShisterov This needs to be added, it's a side-effect from the merged pull request I did for damage cvars.

Hi @tmp64,

I know this issue has some years, but I'm wondering what other weapons are affected by client prediction if we modify their damage behaviour. Seems like mp_damage cvars are not effective as I thought.
