Cloning a script into a spawned part breaks it, even though it shouldn't?

I'm using a local script in my vehicle to spawn bullets and it works with no issue. However, when I try to clone a disabled script to put it into the spawned bullet and enable it, it won't work, even when the script icon shows it's enabled inside the bullet.

Here's the part in my local script to spawn the bullet

mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
    if key == "f" then
        print("pressed f")

        local bullet = Instance.new("Part")
        bullet.Size = Vector3.new(3,3,3)
        bullet.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Black")
        bullet.Name = "bullet"
        bullet.CustomPhysicalProperties = PhysicalProperties.new(0,0,0,0,0)

        bullet.CFrame = script.Parent.gun.muzzle.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,-10)

        local force = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
        force.Parent = bullet
        force.Name = "Move"
        force.velocity = script.Parent.gun.muzzle.CFrame.lookVector * 750

--below is where the problem starts i think
        local new_script = script.Parent.gunscript2:clone() 
        new_script.Disabled = false
        new_script.Parent = bullet

        local creator_tag = Instance.new("ObjectValue")
        creator_tag.Value = player
        creator_tag.Name = "creator"
        creator_tag.Parent = bullet

        bullet.Parent = workspace
    end
end)

and here's the script that is cloned and placed into the bullet

function onTouched(hit)
    print ('bullet hit')
    script.Parent:Destroy()
end

script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)

I get no errors in the console and the bullet script works when I have it isolated in the workspace instead of it being cloned and such.
