Gun fires, but bullet does not kill Zombies? [UPDATE] [NEED ANSWER]

UPDATE: Hit is defined, line 12

This script is inside a tool, meant to kill Zombies (Hostile NPCs with a Humanoid named Zombie), and when the tool is fired the ball(bullet) kills the Zombie. It works on test mode in ROBLOX Studio, but not when a physically play the game. Script looks very long, but all I worry about are lines 12-34

The ball(bullet) spawns when fired, but does not take any damage to the Zombie. Thanks!
