dt means delta-time, this is the time passed in one frame (1 iteration of the game logic loop).

Your approach only works for a constant logic frame rate. The interval doesn't remain the same if you change the frame rate. Furthermore, you cannot specify an intutive time as an interval -- with sf::Milliseconds(200), you know that exactly 5 bullets are shot every second.

By the way, there is the increment operator to increase variables by 1:
++accumulator;

I see. Well I have the frame limiter set to 60, which should remain consistent right? Unless I decide to run it on a typewriter. For now I will leave it as it is, although I can think of other parts of the game where your code might come in handy. Anyway, thanks for the help, I do appreciate it :D
