How Can I Change This Gun Camera View From Behind The Character, To A First Person View?

I've Attempted To Fix This Script Myself, But Whatever I Do Basically Breaks This Tool. Most Of What I Am Trying To Fix Is Right Here.

self.fieldOfView = 70
	self.minPitch = math.rad(-75) -- min degrees camera can angle down
	self.maxPitch = math.rad(75) -- max degrees camera can cangle up
	self.normalOffset = Vector3.new(2.25, 2.25, 10.5) -- this is the camera's offset from the player
	self.zoomedOffsetDistance = 8 -- number of studs to zoom in from default offset when zooming
	self.normalCrosshairScale = 1
	self.zoomedCrosshairScale = 0.75
	self.defaultZoomFactor = 1
	self.canZoom = true

This Is The Rest.

-- Configuration parameters (constants)
	self.fieldOfView = 70
	self.minPitch = math.rad(-75) -- min degrees camera can angle down
	self.maxPitch = math.rad(75) -- max degrees camera can cangle up
	self.normalOffset = Vector3.new(2.25, 2.25, 10.5) -- this is the camera's offset from the player
	self.zoomedOffsetDistance = 8 -- number of studs to zoom in from default offset when zooming
	self.normalCrosshairScale = 1
	self.zoomedCrosshairScale = 0.75
	self.defaultZoomFactor = 1
	self.canZoom = true
	self.zoomInputs = { Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton2, Enum.KeyCode.ButtonL2 }
	self.sprintInputs = { Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift }
	self.mouseRadsPerPixel = Vector2.new(1 / 480, 1 / 480)
	self.zoomedMouseRadsPerPixel = Vector2.new(1 / 1200, 1 / 1200)
	self.touchSensitivity = Vector2.new(1 / 100, 1 / 100)
	self.zoomedTouchSensitivity = Vector2.new(1 / 200, 1 / 200)
	self.touchDelayTime = 0.25 -- max time for a touch to count as a tap (to shoot the weapon instead of control camera),
	                           -- also the amount of time players have to start a second touch after releasing the first time to trigger automatic fire
	self.recoilDecay = 2 -- higher number means faster recoil decay rate
	self.rotateCharacterWithCamera = true
	self.gamepadSensitivityModifier = Vector2.new(0.85, 0.65)
	-- Walk speeds
	self.zoomWalkSpeed = 8
	self.normalWalkSpeed = 16
	self.sprintingWalkSpeed = 24

	-- Current state
	self.enabled = false
	self.yaw = 0
	self.pitch = 0
	self.currentCFrame = CFrame.new()
	self.currentOffset = self.normalOffset
	self.currentRecoil = Vector2.new(0, 0)
	self.currentMouseRadsPerPixel = self.mouseRadsPerPixel
	self.currentTouchSensitivity = self.touchSensitivity
	self.mouseLocked = true
	self.touchPanAccumulator = Vector2.new(0, 0) -- used for touch devices, represents amount the player has dragged their finger since starting a touch
	self.currentTool = nil
	self.sprintingInputActivated = false
	self.desiredWalkSpeed = self.normalWalkSpeed
	self.sprintEnabled = false -- true means player will move faster while doing sprint inputs
	self.slowZoomWalkEnabled = false -- true means player will move slower while doing zoom inputs
	self.desiredFieldOfView = self.fieldOfView

Change normalOffset to (0,0,0) and get a first-person lock script. Also, make sure to make the entire character locally transparent so you can't see your own body ;)

Or maybe just use another gun model. The Roblox endorsed ones are kind of bad lol. I use a pistol model as a starter kit and make them into other guns!

Thanks For The Help! I'm Not That Good At Scripting, So It Would Be Extremely Hard To Use Your Method With The Pistol Model, But Thanks For The Advice!
