Alex Hirsch 

The god of entertainment and imagination. His true origins are unknown, he presents us a fabrication about California, but the most popular theory is he was created when Disney noticed that they completely sucked balls and made a deal with a dream demon to make something worth watching be made. They were given an entity known as Alex Hirsch, and Gravity Falls was born.
We all went to the temple of Alex Hirsch today to present our offerings of gratitude.

In first-person shooter games, a hitscan weapon is one that, when fired, instantly hits whatever the weapon is pointing at. This is in contrast to projectile weapons, which fire projectiles that take time to travel.
Sniper rifles are hitscan weapons.

A term used in the video game industry, hitscan, or hitscan weaponry refers to a simple technique where you determine whether a target is hit by the weapon or not. Simply said, at the exact moment the player pulls the trigger, the game will check whatever is at the other end of the reticle and mark that target 'hit'. This means there are no other forces such as gravity etc that impact the shot - due the simple nature of this calculation (a straight line) it is often used with most weaponry in (modern) FPS's. Other, more complex calculations with projectile, take bullet speed, gravity, and other forces into account, which means that the bullet doesn't go in a straight line per se, and doesn't impact instantly.
The Half Life 2 SMG uses a Hitscan technique to determine whether it hits a target or not, but the Crossbow fires a projectile which uses a more complex calculation and takes many variables into acccount.
