phaser Phaser change fire function direction

[CharlesCraft50]

I am making my own top view game and i just added a weapon, it is a pistol,
I want to change the direction of the bullets by not using angleVelocity because if I use it, the pistol will rotate and i dont like it. i just want to change the direction of the bullets like if you click the left button, the pistol will change its direction to the left and also the bullet.

Sample Code:
 

      function create() {
      //some update function code...
      player = game.add.sprite(100, 390, 'player');
      weapon = game.add.weapon(ammo, 'bullet');
      weapon.bulletKillType = Phaser.Weapon.KILL_WORLD_BOUNDS;
      weapon.bulletAngleOffset = 90;
      weapon.bulletSpeed = 600;
      weapon.fireRate = 500;
      //The pistol that follow the player
      pistol = game.add.sprite(player.body.x, player.body.y, 'Pistol');
      game.physics.arcade.enable(pistol);
      pistol.scale.setTo(0.5, 0.5);
      weaponType = "";
      weapon.trackSprite(pistol, 0, 0, true);
      fireButton = game.input.keyboard.addKey(Phaser.Keyboard.Q);
      }

      function update() {
      //some update function code...
      if (fireButton.isDown) {
          if(facing == "left") {
             weapon.fire(); //I want this to fire in the left direction
          } else if(facing == "right") {
             weapon.fire(); //I want this to fire in the right direction
          } else if(facing == "up") {
             weapon.fire(); //I want this to fire in the up direction
          } else if(facing == "down") {
            weapon.fire(); //I want this to fire in the down direction
          }
      }
      }

You have to specify the direction the bullet is gonna fire as you wish.

Something similar to:

IF LEFT:

bullet.x -= 100;

IF RIGHT

bullet.x += 100;

IF UP

bullet.y -= 100;

IF DOWN

bullet.y += 100;

Probably on your weapon.fire function

[samme]

if (fireButton.isDown) {
    if (facing == "left") {
        weapon.fireAngle = Phaser.ANGLE_LEFT;
    } else if (facing == "right") {
        weapon.fireAngle = Phaser.ANGLE_RIGHT;
    } else if (facing == "up") {
        weapon.fireAngle = Phaser.ANGLE_UP;
    } else if (facing == "down") {
        weapon.fireAngle = Phaser.ANGLE_DOWN;
    }
    weapon.fire();
}

@samme I tried that one, they are not working, they will work if I remove weapon.trackSprite(pistol, 0, 0, true); in your code but the bullets didn't fire in the right place.

I already fixed it by changing the weapon.trackSprite(pistol, 0, 0, true); to weapon.trackSprite(pistol, 0, 0, false);, Thank you @samme for the code :)...

How to automatically remove the bullet when it hits in the enemy or in the other solid objects? I know this code will work but it will destroy all bullets and will not work the next time you fire: 

game.physics.arcade.collide(weapon.bullets, enemy, function(){weapon.bullets.destroy();})

game.physics.arcade.collide(enemy, weapon.bullets, function (enemy, bullet){ bullet.kill() });
