Why won't this gun script work?

I have this script:

01function FireBullet(pos)
02    script.Parent.Handle.LaserShot:Play()
03    local p=Instance.new("Part")
04    p.Parent=game.Workspace
05    p.FormFactor="Custom"
06    p.Size=Vector3.new(0.4,0.4,1)
07    p.Name="LaserBullet"
08    p.CFrame=CFrame.new(script.Parent.Handle.Position)
09    p.TopSurface="Smooth"
10    p.BottomSurface="Smooth"
11    p.Color=Color3.new(0,255,0)
12    p.CanCollide=false
13    p.Anchored=false
14    local l=Instance.new("PointLight")
15    l.Parent=p
16    l.Color=Color3.new(0,255,0)
17    l.Shadows=true
18    l.Range=15
19    local v=Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
20    v.Parent=p
21    v.velocity=pos-script.Parent.Handle.Position
22    local g=Instance.new("BodyGyro")
23    g.Parent=p
24    local po=script.Parent.Handle.Position
25    g.cframe=CFrame.new(Vector3.new(po.x,po.y,po.z),(CFrame.new(pos).p-Vector3.new(po.x,po.y,po.z)).unit*300)

32                part.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(25)
33                p:remove()

I want this script to make a bullet appear at the handle of the tool, then move to where the player clicked to fire the bullet.

It should work but the only problem is that the bullet won't move after I have clicked, is there something wrong with the script? The output won't give me anything.

Try increasing the maxForce and velocity of the BodyVelocity, because currently it is quite low, and will not do much. Diitto 230 — 10y

Increased it to math.huge and it still didn't move 73epic311 13 — 10y

Hm. I haven't worked with BodyVelocities that much, instead preferring to go with CFrame, so I can't think of any decent way of fixing this. Also, try doing p:breakJoints(), for it may have welded to the handle. Oh, and math.huge will just make it do nothing for velocity. Make the velocity something decent. Diitto 230 — 10y
