Player tag not being detected by Unity?

I have a shooting script that i am using in my game. (Script below) It works by asking if the player is shooting, then asking if the player hit something, and then asking if the player has the tag "Player" or the tag "Vehicle" before destroying the object with that tag.

I have a debug.log setup that shows what the object i am shooting's tag is. Every time it says that the object (player) is untagged even though i created a tag and named it "Player" in unity and tagged the player prefab with it.

Im not super knowledgeable with tags, so all i did was create a new one and name it "Player" Is there something else i need to do? I even tagged the physical model of the character Player. Here is the shooting script and a screenshot of the prefab. *Note, i do not recieve the debug "TagRecieved" or "Destroyed"

 function Shoot(){
     while(true){
         if(shooting == true && weaponnum == 0 && rbullets1 > 0){
             rbullets1--;
             Physics.Raycast(transform.position,transform.forward,hit);
             Debug.Log(hit.collider.tag);
                 if(hit.transform !=null){
                 Debug.Log("HitPlayer");
                     if(hit.collider.tag == "Player" || hit.collider.tag == "Vehicle"){
                         Debug.Log("tagrecieved");
                         Network.Destroy(hit.transform.gameObject);
                         Debug.Log("Destroyed");
             }
         }
