Try this.

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local BulletEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("BulletEvent")
BulletEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player,Target,Hit)
if Target.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") ~= nil then
    Target.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(15)
end
end)
