I'm trying to code guns for a game and i want to have the bullets come from the end of the gun's barrel but i can't think of a way to get the position of the end of the barrel without welding an invisible part to the end. any better ideas?

What's the best way to find the position of the end of a gun's barrel?

If it is a part, then get the paths for the position of the barrel. if its a meshpart, then get the position of the mesh part then add vector3 coordinates on top of the position. Change the vector3 value until it's just right.
local Meshpart = Path
local tool = script.Parent
local function OnShoot()
local bullet = Instance.new("Part")
bullet.Position = Meshpart.Position + Vector3.new(0,0,2)
end
tool.Activated:Connect(OnShoot)
This is a very specific question since every single model is different.
If it's a mesh / meshpart / union, then you're gonna have to use an invisible part.
If it's a model, then if there is a barrel part, you can just do
local barrelPart = path
print(barrelPart.Position) -- gives you the position.
There are plenty of other ways to do this, but since you did not provide us with a model, these are the only options I can give you.
