I made a m16a2 that can fire bullets but, i need help with s : V

First I want to say thanks to the creator of Dwemer Rifle on the steam workshop because his gave me the ammo pic's and sounds and that someone can make a weapon that looks like a gun and fires rounds. Ok, so I have made it to where I can input an m16a2 that fires ammo rounds like a bow. Unlike the Dwemer Rifle, mine is all physical with no magic. Unfortuntately when i use an animation like staff, I can see my guy holding it but I can't fire. I use bow animation and i can fire a bullet just like a bow... problem is I fire just like a bow (meaning get a 'arrow' from 'quiver' and pull back on 'string' and fire, how long to hold makes distance) plus you don't see the m16a2. I would like it to be just like a real m16a2. When I attach the defaultfireweaponscript below I basically make an auto-firing turret in the shape of a m16a2. It seems like the fire burst and long burst, and the automatic flags, plus the disable animations don't work. If they did, it doesn't seem to effect using m16a2 like a bow, nor does the fixed distance or making the distance min far out. I would like it to be, you hold the attack button and it just keeps firiing like auto fire, or even semi-auto... not single just like a bow. I was thinking maybe if the below would work, i could hold the m16a2 like a staff, but it would still fire the ammo when i attack... but I would like it to work only when i use the attack button, and have it rapid fire, or at the least fire a burst of 3 bullets and like can fire really fast after that. figure altering this script below would make it easiest way... I have no experience scripting or even modding... just several days of messing with autocad 3ds max, nifskope, notepad++, video tutorials, just so i could get the weapon and ammo set up to work albeit not perfectly but at least as a 'bow' any help would be much appreciated.

Hey uhh, I can't help you persay, but I can suggest something. First, wrap your script segment in code tags.

My Code

Also, make your font the default font of the default size, that one is far harder to read and people may see it and immediately turn around and leave. Also, check out the thread on how to ask for scripting help, as following those directions will help us help you: http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1347469-how-to-ask-for-scripting-help/
