Bullet spawn issue

Hi, for some reasons, my bullet does not spawn where I tell it to. I have followed a few tutorials starting with the Unity instantiate tutorial to do it but it won't work. Here is the code: Animation anim; AudioSource gunSound; public Rigidbody bullet; public Transform spawnPoint;

     void Start()
     {
         anim = GetComponent<Animation>();
         gunSound = GetComponent<AudioSource>();
     }
 
     void Update()
     {
         if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1"))
         {
             Rigidbody bulletInstance;
             bulletInstance = Instantiate(bullet, spawnPoint.position, spawnPoint.rotation) as Rigidbody;
             bulletInstance.AddForce(spawnPoint.forward * 1000f);
             gunSound.Play();
             //anim.Play("GunShot4");
         }
     }
