I'm making a shotgun, and when I shoot, the bullets raycast only appears when I shoot it at the ground, and not the sky. Help!

function Fire()
	for i = 10,0,-1 do
		local ray =  Ray.new(Tool.Handle.CFrame.p, (Mouse.Hit.p - Tool.Handle.CFrame.p + Vector3.new(math.random(-2,2), math.random(-2,2), 0)) * 1000)
		local part, position = workspace:FindPartOnRay(ray, Player.Character, false, true)
		local beam = Instance.new("Part", workspace)
		beam.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Electric blue")
		beam.FormFactor = "Custom"
		beam.Material = "Neon"
		beam.Transparency = 0.5
		beam.Anchored = true
		beam.Locked = true
   		beam.CanCollide = false
		local distance = (Tool.Handle.CFrame.p - position).magnitude
		beam.Size = Vector3.new(0.3, 0.3, distance)
		beam.CFrame = CFrame.new(Tool.Handle.CFrame.p, position) * CFrame.new(0, 0, -distance / 2)
		game:GetService("Debris"):AddItem(beam, 0.1)
		Tool.Fire:Play()
		if part then
			local humanoid = part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")	

			if not humanoid then
				humanoid = part.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
			end

		if humanoid then
			humanoid:TakeDamage(10)
			if humanoid.Health == 0 then
				Player.leaderstats.Eliminations.Value = Player.leaderstats.Eliminations.Value + 1
				KilledPerson.Value = humanoid.Parent.Name
				Player.PlayerGui.KillCounter.TextLabel.Text = "You killed "..KilledPerson.Value.."!"
				wait(3)
				Player.PlayerGui.KillCounter.TextLabel.Text = ""
			end 
		end
	end
	end
end

FormFactor is deprecated, why are you using it. Same for the parent argument to Instance.new.

This is most likely happening because the ray isn't actually hitting anything when it's aiming at the sky. If you really want your shots to show up when they don't hit anything, just add in the following after setting your position the first time: position = position or Vector3.new(-- some random spray position); Then it'll seem like it's firing at something when it's actually not.
