Description
Let projectiles have a collision volume that is not just a point in space. It's fine if it has limitations, for example if it can only be a sphere and you can just specify a radius. Ideally the existence of this feature would not incur any perf penalty in the case where projectiles are still points.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the projectile collision handling and assess how a sphere radius could be represented without a performance penalty for point projectiles; done means projectiles support a configurable collision volume with documented limitations.
