bullet.Anchored = true
bullet = Instance.new("Part")
bullet.Name = "Bullet"
bullet.Parent = script.Parent.Handle
bullet.Anchored = false

bullet.Velocity = Vector3.new(bulletSpeed,0,0)

I’m new too velocity so please correct me if I messed up the velocity. Currently the gun doesn’t shoot because I’m not sure how to make something happen when the player clicks while holding a tool.

When I run the script, I get this error

pistol is not a valid member of Tool “Players.HudDun2012.Backpack.Pistol”

The gun also does not reload and I’m not sure how to make it reload.
Please, if you can, help me

Look into here to get a general idea

Video 2

Note that a video 1 is just a simple raycast and nothing else, if you want to add stuff such rng and drop and velocity etc then i recommend you check out the video 2 as it shows you the basic of the module script that also has the features
