Re: how to make multiple shots with one sprite
Well, you'd have to have it go from one spot to another with a sort of list to keep track of where each of the bullets are, and have it stamp from one place to another. I'm giving you a bit of a concept... I can write up a script for you tomorrow if you don't understand 
However, this belongs in All About Scratch. I'll move it for you.

Write the bullet's location, stamp, go to next bullet's location, stamp, go to previous bullet's location, stamp.

Its allot easier and normally less laggy just to have multiple sprites, although the list method is good if you need tons of them and don't care about lagg too much,.

Wouldn't having multiple sprites bog the project down more than stamping?

Unless you plan on having millions of bullet sprites, I don't think so...
