Then there is no /mob/proc/die... we'd have to see more code, that's all I can tell you. Do you have:
mob/
proc/
die()
// Commands

Note that if it is /mob/player/proc/die, it wont work.

obj
bullet
Bump(mob/M)
if(ismob(M))
M.die()
icon = 'projectile.dmi'
icon_state = "bullet"
New(mob/owner)
..()
walk(src,owner.dir)
sleep(10)
del src

ok, there's the full code....what do you think now?

try doing just die(), without the M.

Please Mystic, don't give advice about things you don't know a thing about.

I think that it's not the full code. Do you, or do you not have a <code>mob/proc/die()</code> proc? If you don't, there's your problem. If you do, let's see it.

Well no wonder you're getting an "undefined proc" error! :-D

It's really not all that hard:

<code>mob/proc/die(mob/killer) if (killer==src) world << "[src] committed suicide" else world << "[killer] kills [src]" del src</code>

That's a very basic example; all it does is tell everyone about the death, and who caused the death. Just remember to pass the mob who killed src to die() when you call it, and you're set!

You can add anything else you want in there - you could respawn players instead of deleting them, place blood/bodies, give the killer an experience bonus, etc.

Don't forget you need
if(!killer)
  world << "[src] spontaniously combusted."

if the killer no longer exists when the die() proc is called.

I think you set up New() wrong; the owner of the bullet should be the second argument. The first argument is the location of the bullet. Also, you're calling sleep() instead of spawn() here, which doesn't seem like a good idea.
obj/bullet
  icon = 'projectile.dmi'
  icon_state = "bullet"
  var/mob/owner

  Bump(atom/A)
    if(ismob(A))
      var/mob/M=A
      M.die(owner)
    del(src)

  New(newloc,mob/M)
    owner=M
    walk(src,owner.dir)
    spawn(10)
      del(src)

mob
  proc/die(mob/killer)
    if(killer)
      world << "[killer] kills [src]!"
    del(src)
