And if you want the code of the bullets you might use

bullet = instance_create(x,y,pbj_bullet)
bullet.direction = direction
bullet.speed = 30 // Or whatever you want.

He is right. When creating projectiles, you have to create them with a variable so that when you create another bullet going the opposite direction, it doesnt manipulate the direction of the pre-existing bullet instance.
