Which is the "lightest" way to create a shooting effect?

Hello, this is my first post in forum, I hope this is the right place for this question/discussion.

Hypothesis:
Suppose I want to make a very light game that involves some shooting between the player and the enemies. I am already using raycasting to determine whether targets are in range and visible.

Question:
What would be the best way to create the effect of bullet, instantiate a bullet prefab or fire a linerenderer? (assuming that I can get the visual effect from both).

 

Are you specifically asking about the Visual Effect Graph? Or are you asking "how do I achieve this visual effect by any means?"?

Because if it's the latter then this is the wrong forum. Discussions here are specifically about this Unity package: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.visualeffectgraph@6.9/manual/index.html

Try in the graphics forum itself: https://forum.unity.com/categories/graphics.75/

 

Thank you for your reply.

No I am not asking specifically for Visual Effect Graph. I am rather asking if it would be more performant to have 100 linerenderers or instantiate 100 simple moving objects.

 

Yep - I'd repost in a different forum if I were you.
