Before you post, read this: I know how to script well already. I know what CFrame is. I know how to use game.Workspace.Part.CFrame.lookVector. Ok, what I am asking is how to make a gun that shoots a brick facing the same lookVector as the shooting brick, I can handle the velocity. You don't have to actually post a script, just a helpful tip or script snip is enough.

Can't you set the bullet as the same CFrame as the shooting brick and then it would both have the same lookVector?

Velocity=workspace.Part.CFrame.lookVector*speed;

Thanks SDuke524, but I said I can handle the velocity, its the lookVector I need. When I try what the others are posting, the 'bullet' does fling out of the 'cannon', but the bullet spins on its central point, rather than facing the same direction. I've tried the body object and failed, so can someone post a tip on lookVector?

Set the RotVelocity to Vector3.new(0,0,0)
