I think Mouse.Hit , once again, is the only way (or you can do the raycasting yourself with Camera )

What I’m concerned with in regard to getting the mouse is that it might make it much harder to make ports for Xbox and mobile. I don’t know if that’s unreasonable to believe but I don’t see how mouse.hit would translate to controllers and touchscreens.

I believe Mouse.Hit will work on console and mobile.
But Button1Down and stuff like that probably won’t work.

UPDATE: For whatever reason, this code is what worked:

raycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {gun.Parent}
local raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(mouseRay.Origin, mouseRay.Direction * 1000, raycastParams)
if raycastResult then
	direction = handle.Barrel.WorldPosition + (raycastResult.Position - handle.Barrel.WorldPosition)
else
	direction = mouseRay.Origin + mouseRay.Direction * 1000
end
