How to stop spamming equip to increase firerate?

With my gun, when you spam equip and unequip, it makes it shoot way faster than intended. Here is my code:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local tool = script.Parent
local equipped = false

local mouseDown = false
local canPlay = true
local sound = script.Parent.shoot
local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()


mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
	mouseDown = true
end)

mouse.Button1Up:Connect(function()
	mouseDown = false
end)

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	equipped = true
end)

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	equipped = false
end)

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	
	while wait(0.2) do
		if mouseDown then
			if equipped then
				if canPlay then
					canPlay = false
					
					local ray = Ray.new(tool.shootPart.CFrame.p, (mouse.Hit.p - tool.shootPart.CFrame.p).unit * 300)
					local part, position = workspace:FindPartOnRay(ray, player.Character, false, true)
					
					local beam = Instance.new("Part", workspace)
					beam.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Brick yellow")
					beam.FormFactor = "Custom"
					beam.Material = "Neon"
					beam.Transparency = 0.5
					beam.Anchored = true
					beam.Locked = true
					beam.CanCollide = false
					
					local distance = (tool.shootPart.CFrame.p - position).magnitude
					beam.Size = Vector3.new(0.1, 0.1, distance)
					beam.CFrame = CFrame.new(tool.shootPart.CFrame.p, position) * CFrame.new(0, 0, -distance / 2)
					
					game:GetService("Debris"):AddItem(beam, 0.1)
					
					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(49)
						end
					end
					
					sound:Play()
					
					
					canPlay = true
				end
			end
		end
	end
end)

Fairly new scripter so any help is appreciated

try if this works

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local tool = script.Parent
local equipped = false
local bool = Instance.new("BoolValue",player)
bool.Value = false
local mouseDown = false
local canPlay = true
local sound = script.Parent.shoot
local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()


mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
    mouseDown = true
end)

mouse.Button1Up:Connect(function()
    mouseDown = false
end)

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
    equipped = true
end)

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
    equipped = false
end)

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()

    while wait(0.2) do
        if mouseDown then
            if equipped then
                if canPlay then
                    canPlay = false
                    if bool == false then
	                   bool = true
                    local ray = Ray.new(tool.shootPart.CFrame.p, (mouse.Hit.p - tool.shootPart.CFrame.p).unit * 300)
                    local part, position = workspace:FindPartOnRay(ray, player.Character, false, true)

                    local beam = Instance.new("Part", workspace)

                    beam.Material = "Neon"
                    beam.Transparency = 0.5
                    beam.Anchored = true
                    beam.Locked = true
                    beam.CanCollide = false

                    local distance = (tool.shootPart.CFrame.p - position).magnitude
                    beam.Size = Vector3.new(0.1, 0.1, distance)
                    beam.CFrame = CFrame.new(tool.shootPart.CFrame.p, position) * CFrame.new(0, 0, -distance / 2)

                    game:GetService("Debris"):AddItem(beam, 0.1)

                    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(49)
                        end
                    end

                    sound:Play()

                    bool.Value = true
                    canPlay = true
end
                end
            end
        end
    end
