this is rudimentary but create a small part in front of the gun, call it barrel, then create the bullet that spawns on the barrel then tween it while calculating the distance from barrel position to mouse target to get an accurate speed on bullet travel

serverside tweens are really bad for replication

#

the best way would be to simulate the bullet on the server and make the visuals for it on the client

#

with raycasts/spherecasts

start position + velocity * (currenttime - starttime)

Get a gun

#

Make a part called "bulletStartPoint" (transparent, anchored, not collidable) which is in front of the barrel where the bullet would leave out of the gun

That's your bullet start point

#

Then you can just make it a thin skinny part that appears and disappears every 0.1s
