how do i make it so the bullet disapears after it hits something? my code is:

mob/verb/Fireball()
var/obj/fireball/fireball = new /obj/fireball(src.loc)
walk(fireball,src.dir)


obj/fireball
icon = 'spells.dmi'
icon_state = "fireball"
density = 1

Bump(atom/O)
if(ismob(O))
usr << "[O] is hit by a firball!"

Bump(atom/O)
if(ismob(O))
usr << "[O] is hit by a firball!"
del(src)

Problem: usr has no place in Bump(). If you want to know who fired the fireball, then add a var to your obj/fireball so it knows who fired it:
obj/fireball
  ...  // your icon and density code here
  var/atom/firedby

  New(newloc,atom/A)
    ..()
    firedby=A
    walk(src,A.dir)     // helps to move the walk() here
    // optional line for limited range:
    // spawn(amount_of_time) del(src)

  Bump(atom/O)
    if(ismob(O))
      firedby << "You hit [O] with a fireball!"
      O << "[firedby] hits you with a fireball!"
      oview(src)-O-firedby << "[firedby] hits [O] with a fireball!"
    O.TakeDamage(firedby,src,5)    // damage something like a wall or dense obj or mob
    // delete whether a mob was hit or not
    del(src)

atom
  proc/TakeDamage(atom/attacker,atom/weapon,damage)
    // do nothing; some atoms will use this proc, some won't
    // mobs can use this to reduce hit points and do a death check

mob
  verb/Fireball()
    new /obj/fireball(loc,src)   // tell the fireball who fired it
