Code:
obj/gun/verb
    Get()
        set src in oview(1)
        src.Move(usr)

obj/bullet
   icon = 'energyball.dmi'
   density=1
   var/owner

mob
    proc/Shoot()
        var/obj/bullet/E = new/obj/bullet(src.loc)
        E.owner=src
        while(E)
            step(E,src.dir)
            for(var/mob/M as mob)
                Bump(M)


    proc/Deathcheck()
        if(src.hp<=0)
            view() << "[usr] killed [src]!"
            src.hp = src.maxhp
            src.loc = locate (1,2,3)

    var/hp = 10
    var/maxhp = 10
    verb/shoot()
        for(var/mob/M as mob in oview(5))
            if(!M)
                return
            else
                usr.Shoot()


Problem description:

the code wont fire visible energyballs (bullets) at the enemy!

cant be arsed looking at the code, but youve probably just forgotton to make a movement state for the bullet


If the bullet is doing damage through a bump proc, then the visual problem means its in the icon

If so, make a new state, edit it and check the movement state box

In response to CuriousNeptune

            for(var/mob/M as mob)
                Bump(M)


That looks like it bumps every mob in the world.
Also use Walk() instead of Step(), Step() moves the Reference once in the designated direction whilst Walk() does it continuesoly (Every Lag which is the time between steps).

A way I do guns might be less buggy;

obj/bullet1
    density = 1
    icon = 'bullet.dmi'
    New()
        ..()
        spawn(1)
            walk(src,src.dir,2)
    Bump(atom/a)
        if(isturf(a))
            view(a)<< sound('sound16.wav',volume=50)
            del src
        if(ismob(a))
            if(a.type == /mob/player)
                a:Health -= rand(5,20)
                a:DeathCheck()
                view(a)<< 'sound15.wav'
                del src
        if(src)
            del src

Thats a Bullet I made, It doesnt degarde though so it will keep going.

And in my verb I included: 
                for(var/obj/bullet1/B in view(1))
                    B.dir = usr.dir
                    step(B,B.dir)


which redirects the bullet to the direction it needs to go to.

I haevent tested this actual code as is because its basically bits and peices that could be handy.
