Vertically mirror sprites?

How can I mirror a sprite vertically using only code (so no going into costumes to flip vertical)?
I'm pretty much looking for the equivalent of
set rotation style [up-down v]

Vertically mirror sprites?

Thanks, for the response. The thing is, I want to have both a right side up and an upside down version.

I'm making a birds-eye-view shooting game, but right now I'm using two gun costumes to make sure it's always the right way up. However, I have different gun skins which I don't want to alter upside down as well (the costumes would be cluttered).

The prototype game (nowhere close to finished) is public, if you want to examine it closer. The game

You could create a clone, rotate it and stamp it with the pen extension possibly

Thanks for the help, but if you looked at what the gun does it's a slightly different problem (since the gun isn't symmetrical)

I think you're going to have to have duplicate costumes. There is no combination of costume controls which will give you what you want just using code.
