if you hit the gun and it goes random it would be this
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root.worm)) {
Math.random()4;
}
Put it in the gun mc

[edit-undo]

onClipEvent(enterFrame)[
number = math.round(random(4));
if(number == 1)[
gotoAndPlay("scene 1",1);
]
if(number == 2)[
gotoAndPlay("scene 2",1);
]

and so on and so forth...
sorry, but this gay spanish keyboard doesnt have the squiggly brackets so you´ll have to replace that square brackets before it will work. hope it helps.

accually yo could just do

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
number = math.round(random(4));
gotoAndPlay("scene" + number,1);
}

The probelm with the above is that you would have to name each scene "scene1" or "scene2" and so forth. This is definitely a switch situation.

switch (Math.ceil(Math.random() * THE NUMBER OF SCENES YOU HAVE)) {
case 1:
gotoAndPlay("scenename",1);
break;
case 2:
gotoAndPlay("otherscene",1);
break;
case 3:
gotoAndPlay("goodscene",1);
break;
case 4:
gotoAndPlay("lastscene",1);
break;
//Keep inserting case statements just like the ones above until you reach the number of scenes you have, then finish with a close bracket.
}
