This has been like this since the beginning. Try shooting the sapphire wand at a heresiarch with his shield up in Chocolate Hexen. You'd think it would bounce off, but no. It may not make the most sense logically, it's still expected behavior.

The FastProjectile is lacking several checks in the regular movement code. This is not easily added without a lot of code duplication and performance impact.

Projectile actors who inherit : Fast Projectile do not seem to get reflected by actors who have +REFLECTIVE flag. Major Cooke said they shouldn't act like this, so I may have stumbled upon a bug.
I tried combining the +REFLECTIVE flag with +SHIELDREFLECT and +DEFLECT, and I get the same behavior, the fast projectile dies instead of being reflected like a normal projectile would.

Is it a bug or is it intended to work like this?
Thanks!
