Unreal Engine 5 - Silencer and Reduced Damage (ALS #118)

This is episode 118 of the third-person shooter series based on Unreal Advanced Locomotion System. Today, we are going to implement a way to toggle between single shot mode and multi shot mode for automatic weapons. For example, if I enable the single shot mode for an AK,  even if I keep fire button pressed, it will only shoot one bullet, to shoot another bullet, I'll have to press the fire button again. This will be handy when the player is running low on bullets.

This won't affect the headshots.
