Spawn actor a certain distance from other actor

Is there a way to set an offset from an actor where another actor will spawn when using the addObject command? I'm making an astronaut game and the astronaut has a gun, but the bullets shoot out of his head, instead of out of his gun.

You can make any initial adjustments in the position/rotation of the bullet when you create it. For example to have bullet start 10 up and 5 forward (with respect to orientation of the astronaut): 
Actor bullet = new Bullet();
getWorld().addObject(bullet, getX(), getY());
bullet.setRotation(getRotation());
turn(90);
move(10);
turn(-90);
move(5);

I am not sure what you mean. Show how/where you used it (with context).
