Here is the basic method for this type of shot;

Note that while the bullets do not cross paths from a single burst (as they do in EV), they will cross shots from multiple bursts.

It isn't quite as good as the effect in the video but it gets the point across.....

Note that all bullet's CreateActor commands are located in player>mousebuttondown;

Edit: You can get more 'circling' by changing the line in bullet->draw actor from

bloom*=1.1;
to
bloom*=1.05;
