Gear possibly not cloning correctly. What is going wrong here?

I have an event (RemoteEvent) that fires on all of the clients. When this happens the game is supposed to clone a sword into everyone's inventory. This works without errors, but the sword is unusable, when trying to use it, it simply doesn't do anything. I suspect this has to do with the script that clones the gear. The following script is a local script located in StarterGui:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Events = game.ReplicatedStorage.Events

Events.DefaultModeStart.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
    wait(15)
    game.ReplicatedStorage.ClassicSword:Clone().Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack
end)

This is the script that fires the event: (Script located in Workspace) What this is supposed to do is wait 15 seconds, teleport the players, then clone the gear.

local Events = game.ReplicatedStorage.Events
Events.DefaultModeStart:FireAllClients() -- Start Event

-- TP Players
wait(15)
target = CFrame.new(175.5, 68.5, 1247.5)
for i, player in ipairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
    --Make sure the character exists and its HumanoidRootPart exists
    if player.Character and player.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then
        --add an offset of 5 for each character
        player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = target + Vector3.new(0, i * 5, 0)
    end
end
