If bandwidth reduction is on maximum and a player doesn't look towards the player shooting a long distance weapon at them, they weren't receiving the bullet sync

Summary
If a server has bandwidth reduction set to maximum, long distance shots do not sync, though actually doesn't even need to be that far, if the player is not looking in that direction.
Video of it not working and video of it working with PR: https://cit.gg/arran/vids/bsyncfix2.mp4
This is actually just re-adding what used to exist:
This commit removed it: 45d6996#diff-3ca556956f6236bbcafbd7e847f5bda360c3db9fceea0c6b79ee4fb28bbcdb89
Motivation
Players get angry if bullets don't do any damage. Although I can work around it for now by using "medium" instead of "maximum" this will cause a lot of problems for servers using maximum that are unaware of this and have updated their server since bullet sync was refactored.
Test plan
I used 2 PCs, made sure the player being shot is looking away (changes their zone for bandwidth reduction) which causes the bullets to not sync as you can see in the above video. I then tested other guns with the PR and at different bandwidth reductions to make sure everything seemed normal.
