pygame.quit()

When I shoot more than 1 bullet fires and I only want 1 bullet to fire at a
time (but not only 1 bullet on the screen) They all fire in a large clump and
stick together also so I want them to fire at different times I have tried
using a delay clock.tick but that makes the game extremely laggy

I am relatively new to pygame and don’t fully understand it any help would be
appreciated thanks !
