Bullet disappears when the Space bar is pressed

[Grilled]

OK. Here's my problem:

Basically, I want to my bullet do what bullets in video games usually do; shoot whenever the button specified is pushed. Well I have more or less half of that done.

Here's my fire method:

public void fire(){


		if(Keyboard.isKeyDown(Keyboard.KEY_SPACE) && isEmpty()==false){
			fireRate=5.5f;
			firing=true;
			
		
		}
		System.out.println(firing);

	
	}

My update method:

public void update(){
		Bullet.x+=fireRate;

			if(clip.size()==0){
				spawnBullets();	
			}

					

		for(Bullet bullet: clip){
			
			
				bullet.draw();
			
			}
		
		}

My spawn bullets method:

public void spawnBullets(){
		
		
		for(int i=0; i<numberOfBullets; i++){
			
			clip.add(new Bullet());
		}
		
	}

My bullet class:

public class Bullet {
	
	public static float x,y;
	
	public Bullet(){
		
		x=Player.getX();
		y=Player.getY();
		
		
	}
	
	public void draw(){
	

		
		glPushMatrix();
		glTranslatef(x,y,0);
		glBegin(GL_QUADS);
		glColor3f(0.4f, 0.5f, 0.6f);
		glVertex2d(-8,0);
		glVertex2d(8,2);
		glVertex2d(8,5);
		glVertex2d(-8, 6);
			
		glEnd();
		glLoadIdentity();
		glPopMatrix();
						
	
	}

}

And finally my game loop:

while(!Display.isCloseRequested()){
			
			
			
			cam();
			

			if(Keyboard.isKeyDown(Keyboard.KEY_SPACE)==true){
				gun.update();

				gun.fire();
				

				
			}
			
			player.drawPlayer();
			
			Time.update();
			wave.update();
			
			
			boundingBox();
		
			Display.update();
			Display.sync(60);
					
	}

As of right now, the code that I have just spawns the bullet at the players location and only appears and moves if i have the space bar held down. How could I change this so that the bullet gets drawn at the players location and stays drawn.

Thanks!

Your bullet spawn method didn't paste in properly but I'm guessing your issue is you set the fire_rate what space is down, do you set it back to 0 somewhere else?

yeah, the fireRate is declared as 0 and then when the space bar is pressed the fireRate=5.5f
