your problem is that you only move the bullet object by 5 when you fire the bullet, as you reset the variable Fire to 0 after one loop. this is why your bullet doesn't appear to be moving. To get around this problem, people often use 'life' variables, so the bullet moves for a certain number of loops, and then resets fire when the life is at an end. Here is an example using your code, but it might be a good idea to use an array and have several bullet objects, as at the moment you can only fire one bullet at a time.

Hope this Helps.
Part of solving the problem is actually noticing that the problem is there in the first place
