[FE] Gun works when in StarterPack, but not when Cloned from ReplicatedStorage?

Hello! I got a gun that works when the tool is in the StarterPack, but not when its cloned from ReplicatedStorage to Backpack.

For reference, this is a slightly modified script from the one AlvinBloxx provides in his 3 hour tutorial - ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acJu605JNQE&t=1s ).

I feel this is probably an easy solution that I am overlooking, and apologies for all the scripts, I wanted to be as thorough as I could here.

When the player wants to equip an item, the item is cloned from the ReplicatedStorage to the Backpack with this script that fires when the user clicks a button inside their custom Inventory:

local p = game.Players.LocalPlayer

Item1.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
local tool = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Gun:Clone()
tool.Parent = p.Backpack
end)

And it clones the item just fine to the Backpack, appear on the bar in the bottom-center of the screen for the player to Equip.

I receive two errors, one from the Local Script inside the tool

This is the error I receive: "attempt to index local 'tool' (a nil value) " this line refers to the "tool" in the following Local Script inside the Gun/Tool on Line 25:

local tool = script.Parent -- Getting the tool
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer -- Getting the player
local mouse = player:GetMouse() -- Getting the mouse
local sound = tool:WaitForChild("Gunfire")

local reloading = false -- Variable to check if we are currently reloading
local contextActionService = game:GetService("ContextActionService") -- Allow us to cater for Mobile players
local bodytype = nil -- Nil for now but will check whether player is R6 or R15
local difference = 0 -- Difference between position of head and mouse

    bodytype = checkBodyType:InvokeServer(tool) -- Invoking the Remotefunction to do a check on the server
    print(bodytype)
end
-- Reloading function
function reload()
	reloading = true
	reload2:FireServer(tool.reload)
	mouse.Icon = "http://www.roblox.com/asset?id=936489163"
	player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("GunGUI").Bullets.Text = "Recharging!"
	wait(reloadtime)
	bullets.Value = 6
	player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("GunGUI").Bullets.Text = "Bullets: "..bullets.Value -- REWORD THIS FOR MAGIC POINTS
	mouse.Icon = "http://www.roblox.com/asset?id=936803874"
	equipAnimation:FireServer(tool.shoot)
	reloading = false
end
-- When the tool is equipped, the following event will run
tool.Equipped:Connect(function(mouse)
	gungui:Clone().Parent = player.PlayerGui -- We are cloning the Gun GUI into the player's PlayerGUI
	findBodyType() -- Calling the function above to check the body type.
	equipAnimation:FireServer(tool.shoot) -- Calling the equip animation remoteevent so that the server can play the animation
	mouse.Icon = "http://www.roblox.com/asset?id=936803874"
	mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
		if bullets.Value <=0 or reloading == true then
			-- Don't do anything
		else
			local head = game.Workspace[player.Name].Head.CFrame.lookVector
			local mouse = CFrame.new(game.Workspace[player.Name].Head.Position,mouse.Hit.p).lookVector
			difference = (head-mouse)
			local ray = Ray.new(tool.Handle.CFrame.p,(player:GetMouse().Hit.p - tool.Handle.CFrame.p).unit*300) -- Last number is how many studs the bullet will travel.
			local part,position = game.Workspace:FindPartOnRay(ray,player.Character,false,true)
			sound:Play()
			if difference.magnitude < 1.33 then
				shootevent:FireServer(tool,position,part)
				bullets.Value = bullets.Value - 1
			end
		end
	end)
	local reloadMobileButton = contextActionService:BindAction("ReloadBtn",reload,true,"r")
	contextActionService:SetPosition("ReloadBtn",UDim2.new(0.72,-25,0.20,-25))
	contextActionService:SetImage("ReloadBtn","http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=10952419") -- CHANGE THIS IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE RELOAD BUTTON FOR MOBILE.
end)
tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	mouse.Icon = ""
	unequipanimation:FireServer(tool.shoot)
	player.PlayerGui.GunGUI:Destroy()
	contextActionService:UnbindAction("ReloadBtn")
end)
headshot.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	player.PlayerGui.GunGUI.Headshot:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.5,-100,0.5,-25), "Out","Quint",0.3)
	wait(1.5)
	player.PlayerGui.GunGUI.Headshot:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(-1,0,0.5,-25), "In","Quint",0.4)
	wait(0.5)
	player.PlayerGui.GunGUI.Headshot.Position = UDim2.new(1.5,0,0.5,-25)
end)

And when it fires, it gets hung on the animation portion from the Script inside ServerScriptStorage.

The Script inside ServerScriptStorage is below, the script will break on Line 31/36, depending if the Player is a R6 or R15 model over with the error saying: attempt to index local 'tool' (a nil value):

local serverStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")["Ranged"]["GunRemotes"]
local hitSound = game.Workspace.HitSounds.BloodHit


replicatedStorage.ShootEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,tool,position,part)
-- Gun Shooting/Damage portion, no errors here

replicatedStorage.EquipAnimation.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,animation)
	local newAnim = game.Workspace[player.Name].Humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation)
	newAnim:Play()
	replicatedStorage.UnequipAnimation.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,animation)
		newAnim:Stop()
		for i,v in pairs(game.Workspace:GetChildren()) do
			if v.Name == player.Name.."'s Trajectory" then
				v:Destroy()
			end
		end
	end)
	replicatedStorage.Reload.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,animation)
		newAnim:Stop()
		local reloadAnim = game.Workspace[player.Name].Humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation)
		reloadAnim:Play()
		wait(1)
		reloadAnim:Stop()
	end)
end)

function checkBodyType(player,tool)
	if game.Workspace[player.Name]:FindFirstChild("LowerTorso") then -- R15
		tool.shoot.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://1101572628"
		tool.reload.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://1101580893"
		return "R15"
	end
	if game.Workspace[player.Name]:FindFirstChild("Torso") then -- R6
		tool.shoot.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://1101542983"
		tool.reload.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://1101549236"
		return "R6"
	end
end

replicatedStorage.CheckBodyType.OnServerInvoke = checkBodyType

What I have tried so far: In the local script, I have changed Line 25 from:

bodytype = checkBodyType:InvokeServer(tool)

to

bodytype = checkBodyType:InvokeServer(player,tool)

At which point the ServerScriptStorage says that "shoot" from the is not a valid member of Player.

I'm still not sure why the Tool works just fine if its in the StarterPack but not when cloned from ReplicatedStorage. =/ I would appreciate any/all ideas. Thanks!

local tool = script.Parent -- Getting the tool this bit is wrong where is your tool it needs to be in replicated storage then you say local tool =script.Parent.Parent.(WaitForChild)'<toolname> that should work as long as the tool is in replicated storage and script is in server script service
