Would you INSTANCE OBJECT or CLONE OBJECT to create an array of bullets?

They're not static, but then they have no differentiating features either.

And I'm sure I'll find out soon enough, but do clone / instances inherit the texture of the original object?

i ues INSTANCE OBJECT and CLONE OBJECT for bullets. bullets go so fast that if you ues nomel COLLISION the bullet can pass thre the object your trying to hit.

yes if you have the texture in the x file then made the bullet.if you add the texture latter then no.

Which one...INSTANCE or CLONE! One must have an advantage over the other.

You can resolve this by using INTERSECT OBJECT.
