Do the number of bullets shot off determine the sentence for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon?

Sort of. Just possessing the firearm would be one charge, and another charge by discharging the firearm (assuming it is in violation of a statute). But discharging the firearm several times will more than likely increase the punishment. This depends on what he shot at and your state law. There is absolutely no way to know what someones punishment will be, there are just too many factors.

Can you be charged for having an empty firearm?

It depends. In Tennesee, there is a charge for illegal possession of a firearm, which is simply carrying an unauthorized firearm, and can be a misdemeanor. There is also "intent to go armed" which can be a felony. If the gun is not loaded, the charge will probably be the former, if the officer doesn't think you were up to anything bad.
