Code:
obj/Techs/Bullet
    icon = 'Bullet.dmi'
    density = 1
    var/damage
    
    Enter(atom/A)
        if(istype(A,/turf))
            del(src)
        if(istype(A,/obj))
            del(src)
        if(istype(A,/area))
            del(src)

    Bump(atom/A)
        if(istype(A,/turf))
            del(src)
        if(istype(A,/obj))
            del(src)
        if(istype(A,/area))
            del(src)
        if(istype(A,/mob))
            var/mob/P = A
            P.life -= src.damage
            P.Death()
            del(src)


Problem description:
Ok here is a bullet, it is designed to be created and then walk in the direction you are facing until it hits a player. Then when it does, it causes damage. As you can well see.

Well I have some turfs that are used as passages and one that is used as a healing tile you walk on. If someone fires a bullet into a passage or into the healing tiles, I get a non-stop ammount of red errors and the bullet just stays there.

Any help please?

It's most likely with the turf's Entered() procedure. Are you making sure that it's a mob and nothing else?

You're looking for turf.Entered(), not obj.Enter(). And for that Bump() procedure, it can be controlled much better in turf.Entered()

obj/Techs/Bullet
    icon = 'Bullet.dmi'
    density = 1
    var/damage
    Bump(atom/A)
        if(istype(A,/mob))
            var/mob/P = A
            P.life -= src.damage
            P.Death()
        del(src)
turf/healythingsandsuch
    Entered(atom/movable/M)
        if(ismob(M))
            //Healy stuff here?
        else
            del(M)


There're tons of ways to do this but it should work
