Well, I don't see any kind of delay in your code. My guess: the player's movement seems to be linked to the key repeat rate, which prevents it from moving at an insane speed. There is no such limiter for your bullet. Thus, it flies off the screen too quickly to see.

To make your game run at the same speed on different computers, see here.

Hmm, that is seems to be it because my cout << bullet_x << bullet_y shows that the bullet moves very fast. How should I fix it, maybe a timer?

EDIT: oops, didn't see the end of your post.
