Best bet is the "emit" command. set up an expression that gets the direction
of the gun and
positon, for the velocity vector of the particle and muzzle position.
then plug those numbers into the expression with the emit command to emit a
particle
per frame.
if you want more than one "shot" per frame (machine gun)
you can offset the position of the "bullets" up and down the velocity
vector with some
random value. and loop on the emit command
hope this helps..

Where am I going, and how did I get in this handbasket!
