Eh..I'm having some trouble with Bumps today..
Ok..now here I have a code for a bullet to go shoot some one, on contact it deals damage...in the part where it check if the Defender is dead or not I want to use src but it gives me a compile time error..If i use usr (which I don't think I should) I get a runtime error which says there is no usr (0.null or something). Here is the coding

obj/shot
    icon = 'Shot.dmi'
    Dual_Pistol
        icon_state = "XPisUziMG"
        density = 1
        Bump(mob/Defender)
            if(istype(Defender))
                Defender<<"You're being shot at!"
                Defender.health -= 11
                if(!src.client)


There is more but it's pointless to post it, it all uses either usr or src.

The error I get if I use src is:

Weapons.dm:635:error:src.client:undefined var

Thank you for your help

[Edit] I think I get the src error because it's an object, but that's just a wild guess.[Edit]

Well, not sure for what reason you may have if(!src.client), but since it's an obj and DEFINITELY not an client, just remove that part. But, if you meant src as in the mob/obj it's bumping, then you'd use if(!Defender.client) Then continue your other specification's from there. Also, don't use usr...usr is null when used by a non-client(I could be wrong, so not 100% sure). Instead of usr, use src. Here's a fixed up version of your programming:
obj/shot
    icon = 'Shot.dmi'
    Dual_Pistol
        icon_state = "XPisUziMG"
        density = 1
        Bump(mob/Defender)
            if(ismob(Defender))
                Defender<<"You're being shot at!"
                Defender.health-=11

Yes..I changed it around to mob....but I have another question. How would I Check if there is a mob 6 turfs away in the direction of the usr?

Look up get_step(). And remember to use a loop.

(To elaborate on that last bit: I'm not telling you to do get_step(get_step(get_step(...),dir),dir),dir) or anything - that'd just be silly. =) Use a for() loop, and a variable that records the atom returned by get_step each time.)
