How does one not code: by subclassing on type of object with a totally different type of object. That is, unless you can say that object A is a specific type of object B, then A should not subclass B. A bullet, which is of type projectile, can be shot from a gun, which is a weapon; but a bullet is not a gun. A Bullet class can extend a Projectile class, an Actor class and the Object class; and a Gun class can extend a Weapon class, an Actor class and the Object class; but a Bullet should not extend a Gun class. In the same sense, a Bullet class should not extend a Shooter class. Now, to add a delay between bullets created you will need to add an int field to the Shooter class as an act counter. When a bullet is created, set the field to some positive value. While its value is positive, decrement its value. Only create a bullet when its value is zero.
