Well sort of... it works fairly well if implemented right... pretty much you make the one object "bullet" move really fast. And whenever it collides with something, or leaves the map you hide it and put on the end of the gun again.

I'm using DB Classic.

Just make a 20 to 30 bullets and always move the next bullet when you shoot.
And when you are at the 30th bullet you just go back to the first one.

it's pretty good, if its to slow then change the bullets(Spheres) into plains.

I don't think making the bullets visible is really the best way, making a cool bullet zoom trail is what I like . And definitly don't used spheres for bullets, use textured planes pointing towards the camera.
