Raycast Gun Fire Rate

Making an aim trainer app in unity 2017.4.17f1 personal for mobile devices. made a script that shoots every time you click:

 void Update () 
     {                    
         if (Input.GetButtonDown ("Fire1"))
         {
             Shoot ();
         }
     }

It worked but you had to click each time you wanted to shoot, which is annoying. so, I modified it to the following:

 void Update () 
     {                    
         if (Input.GetButton ("Fire1"))
         {
             Shoot ();
         }
     }

It worked as in it would constantly shoot when you hold the button, but it didn't have a rate at which it fired, so i modified it again to the following:

         public float fireRate = 0.5f;
     public float damage = 10f;
     public float range = 100f; //not being used yet
 
     public Camera fpsCam;
     public ParticleSystem muzzleFlash;
 
 
     void Update () 
     {                    
         if (Input.GetButton ("Fire1") && Time.time > fireRate)
         {
             Shoot ();
         }
     }

Now it doesn't work at all, and i am a bit lost as to what i should do. Here is the Shoot script if it helps:

 void Shoot()
     {
         muzzleFlash.Play (); //Just a particle system
 
         RaycastHit hit;
         if (Physics.Raycast(fpsCam.transform.position, fpsCam.transform.forward, out hit))
             {
                 Debug.Log(hit.transform.name);
                 
                 Target target = hit.transform.GetComponent<Target> ();
                 if (target != null) 
                 {
                 target.TakeDamage (damage);
                  }
 
 
             }
 
 
 
     }

(p.s. I am pretty new to all this stuff so I don't yet know what a lot of the terms and words mean that I've seen in other places)

,Trying to make an app for a school assignment, decided to make a mobile aim trainer for things like COD:M etc. I had made a script that worked to shoot every time you clicked using:

if (input.GetButtonDown ("Fire1")) { Shoot(); }

but to shoot you had to click for every shot. so i changed input.GetButtonDown to input.GetButton. while this did make it so you could just hold the button down to shoot multiple times, but it was firing way too fast, so i modified the script to this, and now it doesn't work at all.

     public float fireRate = 0.5f;
     public float damage = 10f;
     public float range = 100f; //not being used yet
 
     public Camera fpsCam;
     public ParticleSystem muzzleFlash;
 
     void Update () 
     {                    
         if (Input.GetButton ("Fire1") && Time.time > fireRate) 
         {
             Shoot ();
         }
     }

Any idea on what i should do? (P.S. im pretty new to C# so please be a bit mindful of the terms you use)
