Unity Rotations not working properly? Help....

Hey, everyone. I'm experiencing a rather annoying bug and I was hoping someone could offer some help because this just isn't making sense to me. The Ballistic script tells the bullet to move in its forward direction, which should be whichever way the gun is pointing. When the playerAttack scripts calls for the bullet to spawn, it sets the bullets position to that of bulletSpawn's transform, which is a child of the gun.

OnShootEnter is being properly called, bulletSpawn is properly assigned, and yet when the bullet spawns, instead of it facing bulletSpawn's forward, its facing Vector3.forward???

These two scripts are the only things affecting bullet's spawn, rotation, and direction. Everything looks in order to me. What am I missing????

PlayerAttack extends MonoBehaviour, handles bulletspawning when the correct input is given.

 public class PlayerAttack : MonoBehaviour {
 
     public GameObject bulletPrefab;
 
     public Transform gun;
     public Transform bulletSpawn;
     public float damage;
 
 
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start () {
     }
     
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update () {
     }
 
     void OnShootEnter(){
         GameObject bullet = Instantiate(bulletPrefab, bulletSpawn.position, bulletSpawn.rotation);
         //bullet.GetComponent<Ballistic> ().forward =;
         Debug.Log("Player Forward: "+ transform.forward+", BulletSpawn Forward: "+bulletSpawn.forward+", Bullet Forward: "+ bullet.transform.forward);
 
     }
 }

Ballistic extends MonoBehaviour, handles bullet's physics.

 public class Ballistic : MonoBehaviour {
 
 
 
     public GameObject model;
     public float range;
     public float accuracy;
     public float speed;
 
     Vector3 dir = Vector3.zero;
 
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start () {
         model.transform.SetParent (this.transform);
         //Vector3 dir = new Vector3 (transform.forward.x + Random.Range (-accuracy, accuracy),
         //                  transform.forward.y + Random.Range (-accuracy, accuracy),
         //                  transform.forward.z + Random.Range (-accuracy, accuracy));
         dir = transform.forward;
         Debug.Log ("Bullet Forward: " + transform.forward+", Direction: "+dir.normalized);
 
     }
     
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update () {
         transform.GetComponent<Rigidbody> ().velocity = dir.normalized * speed;
         range -= Time.deltaTime;
         if (range <= 0)
             Destroy (this.gameObject);
     }
 
 
     void OnCollisionEnter(Collision obj){
         Destroy (this.gameObject);
         //Debug.Log ("Bullet hit "+ obj.gameObject.name);
     }
 }
