How would I make this axe tool destroy welds?

I created this pretty neat axe tool which you can swing when you click, I made this bunker here out of welds instead of anchoring it. I want to destroy the bunker by swinging the axe. How would I make it so when the axe touches parts with welds it destroys those welds?

script in handle:

local handle = script.Parent

handle.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local items = hit:GetDescendants()
	
	for _, item: Instance in items do
		if item:IsA("Weld") or item:IsA("WeldConstraint") then
			item:Destroy()
		end
	end	
end)

this will break any welds anytime the axe is touched. You could instead move this code into the swinging script and add a connection and when the swing is over, disconenct the .Touched connection

Should work but I think you can simplify it using the break joints function

oh I thought that was only a model thing. My bad, but if OP is using a weld constraint for this stuff then my solution would most likely work best.

but that also is a good solution

Yeah, I am using weld constraints but the other guy’s solution would work for welds just fine
Thanks!

This solution worked… until other players joined
Now they’re just making eachother go bald! What do I do?

if item:IsA("JointInstance")
Base class for joints.

if Part:FindFirstAncestor("Bunker") then
Make sure the part belongs to the bunker beforehand.

you can simply do the following:

local handle = script.Parent

handle.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local items = hit:GetDescendants()

	for _, item: Instance in items do
		local character = item:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Model")
		local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
		
		if not player then
			if item:IsA("Weld") or item:IsA("WeldConstraint") then
				item:Destroy()
			end
		end		
	end	
end)
