How do you make it so that your character's arm moves relative to where the mouse is and shoot a bullit when you click like in Jeff Pwns 2?

Take off the set direction to XY of mouse and just change it to look at the target.

It might also be a good idea to chance the directions on the left side of the arm so that when you move the mouse to either side of the character, the entire character changes direction, rather than having the character's arm bend backwards all retarded like. It might be a good idea to do the same thing with the head.
And werewoof, I don't think your file works.

Why are you all so built-in? 
360 degrees looks much smoother!
Set your arm to "Stop ("Static")"
Use the advanced direction object and put in:
+Always
-Set angle of ("Arm") to (Longdir ("Advanced direction object"), X("Arm"), Y("Arm"), Xmouse, Ymouse)
-Set Xposition of arm to (Desired position)
-Set Yposition of arm to (Desired position)
Then make the direction (In the animator) so that Right dir= normal arm pointing right, left dir=same but upside down. Rest of the directions are to be left blank.
+Angle of ("Arm") is less than 90
OR
+Amgle of ("Arm") is greater than 270
-Set direction of arm to right
+Angle of ("Arm") is greater than 90
+Angle of ("Arm") is less than 270
-Set direction of arm to left.
This will make it look awesome.

Have you considered that Jon may not have known HOW to do that? In fact, does he even have that extension? There are pros, and there are noobs. They are one, but two in skill. (This speech isn't very touching, I know.  ) It's a better idea to do 360° though.

If you need it to shoot 360 degrees too it can be achieved using sin/cos/tan. Just tell me and i'll teach you. (Maybe I should make an article on this, lol)

Are sin cos and tan expression codes? I know pretty much nothing about that sort of thing. An article would help a lot. Also, the last one you did Were woof works out. I think I'll change it a little bit and use that.
