I am wondering why I should use the FindPartOnRay instead of Touched event when the Touched event also does the same thing
What should I use for a gun that shoots instantly and damages
Should I use a touched event for a slower gun? that does not go too fast and moves slowly? for this should I still use ray or use body velocity with mouse
For a gun that shoots instantly and damages, use FindPartOnRay. It strikes out all wait because--well, finding a part on a raycast is near instant.
.Touched a part to touch another part in order for it to fire. FindPartOnRay does not. A ray is not a part.
A downside to touched is the fact that a part can and will go through a hitbox and not fire if you use CFrame:lerp / TweenService / etc--because touched sucks. I'd use BodyVelocity + Mouse.

I would use rays because they are more accurate. Definitely use them for fast projectiles.
