To begin making the weapon system, start by adding a new module to the ServerHandler script, named Weapons. In this module, we will include the necessary services, variables, and other necessary references. As you can see with the hitRemote and replicateRemote variables, we will need two RemoteEvent instances parented to ReplicatedStorage, named Hit and Replicate respectively. These will be used so that the client and server can communicate with each other when necessary. Implement the following code block into your new module:

local playerService = game:GetService("Players")
local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local hitRemote = replicatedStorage.Hit
local replicateRemote...
