One, this should have been placed into the FPSC Chat area, but oh well.

Two, FPSC doesn't use an entity for a bullet, so there is actually no bullet created when you fire. It tests to see what is in the way of your gun, checks the gun accuracy and "fires" accordingly. It was discussed a short time ago about implementing a system that would allow you to do such a thing, but it was deemed too much of a performance hog, and discarded.

A bullet tracing system like HL2 could be implemented, or maybe an even simpler one. HL2 fires the bullet instantly, but every so-so many bullets has a chance of creating a tracer, which is just a yellow line that goes forward up to the point where the bullet already hit. Alternately you could make it so that every few bullets creates an object that is already stretched from the gun to the point of impact that quickly fades away. Obviously any changes would require a modification of the source, however.
