I have a fighter jet which has 6 guns in it. I want to fire bullets with all six guns at the same time when i hit fire. The script used to fire bullet with 1 gun is attached below:

public class bullet_fire : MonoBehaviour {

public GameObject Bullet_Emitter;

public GameObject Bullet;

public float Bullet_Forward_Force;

// Use this for initialization
void Start () {

}


// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
    if(Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1"))
    {
        GameObject temp_bullet_hsndler;
        temp_bullet_hsndler = Instantiate(Bullet, Bullet_Emitter.transform.position, Bullet_Emitter.transform.rotation) as GameObject;
        temp_bullet_hsndler.transform.Rotate(Vector3.left * 90);

        Rigidbody temp_rigidbody;
        temp_rigidbody = temp_bullet_hsndler.GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
        temp_rigidbody.AddForce(transform.forward * Bullet_Forward_Force);
        Destroy(temp_bullet_hsndler, 3.0f);
    }
}

}

and if i use a prefab for this?

I’d just have a Jet prefab, and a Gun prefab. Attach the shooting script to the Jet prefab, and use an array, which you can store the gun into (6 times). You’ll need an array of positions to match each gun too, but that way, you can have many different types of jets, with many different types of guns!

If you’re only wanting to use one type of Jet, and one type of Gun, just have 6 Gun prefabs as children on the Jet prefab, and assign them to the array in the shooting script attached to the Jet. That way you can avoid assigning positions.
