View ID AllocatedID: # not found during lookup. Strange behaviour may occur

The error message in the title occurs intermittently when NetworkView.Find(id) is called. Obviously this only occurs when two or more players are connected.

This Gun script is enabled on a given client only for the local player GameObject it’s attached to.

public class Gun : MonoBehaviour
{
	public GameObject shot;

	...

	public void Shoot()
	{
		if (Network.time > delay)
		{
			delay = (float)Network.time + rate;
			Vector3 pos = transform.position + transform.forward * transform.localScale.z * 1f;
			GameObject clone = Network.Instantiate(shot, pos, transform.rotation, 10) as GameObject;
			networkView.RPC("InitializeShot", RPCMode.All, clone.networkView.viewID);
		}
	}
	
	[RPC]
	private void InitializeShot(NetworkViewID id)
	{
		NetworkView netView = NetworkView.Find(id);
		if (netView != null) // shouldn't be null, but sometimes it is...
		{
			GameObject clone = netView.gameObject;
			if (clone != null)
			{
				clone.rigidbody.velocity = transform.TransformDirection(new Vector3(0, 0, speed));
				clone.GetComponent<PG_Shot>().gun = this;
			}
		}
	}
	...
}

I’ve been banging my head over this for a while now. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

edit: Disregard this answer. It’s still not working correctly consistently. I still need help.

Geh, it was just me being silly and not seeing what was in front of my face. All I needed was to make sure only I (the owner of the Gun) was instantiating shots. This required a networkView.isMine as so:

	public void Shoot()
	{
		if (Network.time > delay && networkView.isMine)
		{

For the sake of completeness, here is the destroy portion of my code (which I belatedly realized might be important):

public class Shot : MonoBehaviour
{
	public Gun gun;
	
	public float persist = 6f;
	private float timeAtStart;

	...

	private void Start()
	{
		...
		timeAtStart = (float)Network.time;
	}

	private void Update()
	{
		// persist for network functionality && this shot belongs to me (on the network)
		if (Network.time  > timeAtStart + persist && gun != null && gun.networkView.isMine)
		{
			Network.RemoveRPCs(networkView.viewID);
			Network.Destroy(gameObject); // destroy for the server and all clients
		}
	}
	
	private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
	{
		...
		if (gun != null && gun.networkView.isMine) // this shot belongs to me (on the network)
		{
			Network.RemoveRPCs(networkView.viewID);
			Network.Destroy(gameObject); // destroy for the server and all clients
		}
	}
}
