Python script to shoot a bullet raycast?

Alright, I’m no good with Python. I’m not gonna deny lol. Here’s what I want: a script to shoot a raycast and have that raycast act as a bullet. As we all know, FPS games use raycasts, not physical bullets. So, this is what I want. Anyone got something for me?

P.S. Don’t worry, I will try to get the hang of Python!

As a side-note, did you search the forum? This is a very common question, and has been asked really recently.

Thanks BluePrintRandom. Now I just need to make it stop once I’m out of ammo.

EDIT: Got it! With a little editing of the script, all’s well! Thanks!

Well this post is even more pointless,
Except to say, I have been toying with a weapon managment sytem template,
So we can dump weapons in a thread, and any game using
The template could use.

Its based a parent being the weapon manager, and the gun/child logic triggered by the parent, this way any weapon parented to the weapon manager looks up its ammo with a property called MyAmmo

So its already written but its like machine code, I need to strart naming and commenting more.
