Just a head's up, try searching the wiki first for Object members or properties.

As it says there, the p member of a CFrame object is a Vector3 that represents the X, Y, Z Position of the CFrame, without rotation.

Both mouse.Hit and tool.Handle.CFrame use the p member, because they are both CFrame objects.

Put succinctly -- A CFrame's `p` is the *position* of the CFrame, forming a Vector3. The position lacks the orientation (rotation) information that the CFrame has. BlueTaslem 18071 — 9y
