Welcome to the Makecode forum!!  
This block from the Sprites tab should be what you’re looking for:

If you are using one of the “create projectile…” blocks to create your projectiles, simply change the second dropdown menu to the sprite kind “projectile” like this:

It should work! Good luck, and feel free to ask any more questions you have!
