Instead of linetracing use a projectile (you can set speed and many other variables). For more advanced system like checking if a surface can be penetrated or not you can use linetrace (whenever projectile hits/collides with something) to determine depth and physics material of that surface.

Or there is a great plugin on the marketplace that I personally use (not affiliated) called Easy Ballistics Plugin
