I was curious if anyone knew of the most efficient way to spawn an arbitrary number of bullets from a specified point in a "fan" type pattern.

I've attached an image that helps illustrate what I mean:



So if I spawn one bullet, it more or less goes straight down, two bullets is split left and right, three has a left, a center, and a right, and so on.

It sort of makes me think of drawing a circle out of multiple points, but even that is a bit beyond me.


Any insight?
