There is no way you can measure how hard somebody presses down on a mouse button, a click is a click.

Since you want to avoid using loops, your only option is detecting how long a user has held the mouse for after they let go of it. Here is how you would go on about it:

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local holdTime 

local function round(num) -- Rounds the number to 2 decimal places, makes the number more readable. 
	num *= 100 
	num = math.floor(num)
	return num / 100
end

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
	local inputType = input.UserInputType
	if inputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
		holdTime = tick()
	end
end) 

UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(input)
	local inputType = input.UserInputType
	if inputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
		holdTime = tick() - holdTime
		print("You held the mouse for "..round(holdTime).." seconds.")
	end
end)
