local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local pathToThePart = ReplicatedStorage.Part

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(Key, Chatted)
	if Chatted then
		return
	end
	if Key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
		local projectile = pathToThePart
		projectile.Parent = workspace
		projectile.CFrame = Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
		projectile.BodyVelocity = Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.lookVector * 1000
	end
end)

Are you sure there's a BodyVelocity object inside of the part? BodyVelocity is not a property, it's a physical object that you must insert into the part. If you're sure it's there, try projectile:WaitForChild("BodyVelocity")

Also, I notice that you are not setting the velocity properly. A BodyVelocity object has a Velocity property which is what you want to modify. Write it like this:

projectile.BodyVelocity.Velocity = Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.lookVector * 1000
