Help with Railgun bullet sprite

Hello folks.
I got a problem using custom bullet sprites with the railgun turret. Half the bullet overshoots the impactpoint/ the point where it deals damage to a section. My guess is that you have to do something to a bullet sprite to make it compatible with the railgun.
Does anyone know how to "convert" a standard sprite to railgun compatible?
Thanks in advance for your answers

Extra space before the head of the bullet sprite very nearly the same length as the sprite itself, like a thrusterex sprite. In fact, I've used a few thruster gfx as railgun bullets and vice versa with good results. Make sure you add space in front instead of squishing the sprite shorter, too.
