I guess it’s going to be better if you first define the folder variable then define the gui

the gui, but it block on the script

this script Should Find The Gui for you without problem

for i,v in pairs(script.Parent:GetChildren()) do
	if v:IsA("LocalScript") then
		if v.Name == "GUIscript" then
			local GUI = v:FindFirstChild("GUI")
		end
	end
end

Looking at your code it seems you did this

local gui = script.Parent.WaitForChild("GUIScript")

whereas it should be a colon

local gui = script.Parent:WaitForChild("GUIScript")

so see, in it we can see that i can reload the small gun but not the big one
