Gun hit detection not working

end)

The issue is that it prints all messages, but the bullets don’t fire - probably because they’re getting destroyed as soon as fired since it collides with the player wielding it, and it’s been ravaging my mind because I’m just annoyed.

ye the bullet prob touches its own gun and gets destroyed you might want to move the bullet that is getting instanced out of the gun like a little bit further so it isnt touching i had this issue to with a gun

In the Touched event, check if the bullet touched the gun model and make sure that doesn’t destroy the bullet.

if hit.Parent == bullet.Parent then
--do nothing
end

If you’re still struggling I recommend you use FastCast. It’s a open source projectile system which is easy to set up and has many useful features and optimisations.
