if(Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1"))

{
        var bullit = Instantiate(bullitPrefab, GameObject.Find("spawn").transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
    bullit.tag = "Smaugus3000laser";
    bullit.rigidbody.AddForce(transform.forward * 40000);

You could also use invokerepeating:

var rateOfFire = 2.0; var Bullet : Transform;

function Update () { //Fire bullets!!

   var rateOfFire = .1;

      if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1"))

         InvokeRepeating("Shoot", .001, rateOfFire);

            if (Input.GetButtonUp("Fire1"))

               CancelInvoke("Shoot");}

function Shoot ()

{

var Bullet = Instantiate(Bullet,transform.Find("BulletSpawnPoint").transform.position, Quaternion.identity);

}

Make sure that where there stands "BulletSpawnPoint" type your own location of where you want the object to spawn.It needs the exact same name

Change GetButtonDown to GetButton. Get Button returns true while the button is held down, GetButtonDown only when it is depressed (you have to release the button to call it again).

ahh cool thanks, that is pretty rapid! :D

Yeah this works, But the problem is that it WILL only update every frame... and that is pretty fast so you got no way of really controlling your "rate of fire", but it works :)

Adding a time check is relatively trivial ( if ((Time.time-savedTime < .5), etc. I was just letting him know that the GetButtonDown would have to be changed before he would get a continuous fire rate from a held key...
