I would like to know how I could make a gun shoot where ever the screen is touched on a screen

If you want to know the event to fire whenever this happens, it’s basically this one:

local tool = script.Parent

tool.Equipped:Connect(function(mouse)
	mouse.Button1Up:Connect(function()
		--do something
	end)
end)

If you want to know how to make a gun, you can just search an online tutorial.

The “.Activated” event of tool instances will fire on touch-screen devices when a the devices’ screen is touched.

This is by no means finished, it’s just a way to get you started.

--LOCAL

local userInput = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local tool = script.Parent
local remote = tool:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")
local handle = tool:WaitForChild("Handle")

local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

local equipped = false

local function onEquipped()
	equipped = true
end

local function onUnequipped()
	equipped = false
end

local function onScreenTouched(touchPosition, processed)
	if processed then return end
	if not equipped then return end
	
	local unitRay = camera:ViewportPointToRay(touchPosition[1].X, touchPosition[1].Y)
	remote:FireServer(unitRay)
end

tool.Equipped:Connect(onEquipped)
tool.Unequipped:Connect(onUnequipped)
userInput.TouchTap:Connect(onScreenTouched)

--SERVER

local tool = script.Parent
local handle = tool.Handle
local remote = tool.RemoteEvent

local debounce = false

local function onRemoteFired(player, unitRay)
	if debounce then return end
	debounce = true
	
	local raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(handle.Position, unitRay.Direction * 250)
	if raycastResult then
		if raycastResult.Instance then
			print(raycastResult.Instance.Name)
		end
	end
	
	task.wait(0.5)
	debounce = false
end

remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(onRemoteFired)

In addition to what I’ve already provided you’d need to handle projectile creation/results handling on the server.
