Better Way to Organise Weapon Types

Unity Engine
1

I am very new to Unity and working on a 2D shooter. I would like advice on how to better organise the types of weapons that will be used in the game. I have researched on the concept of classes but I am unsure how to use them in this scenario.

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class OBJECTS_WEAPONS : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] string weaponType;
    [SerializeField] Transform origin;
    [SerializeField] LineRenderer trail;
    [SerializeField] GameObject bullet;

    float range, cooldownSeconds, damage, inaccuracy, bulletSpeed;

    bool shooting;
    int cooldownFrames;
    float shotInaccuracyX, shotInaccuracyY;

    Vector3 shotDir;
    GameObject currentBullet;

    IEnumerator Shoot()
    {
        if(weaponType == "gun.pistolBasic")
        {
            range = 15;
            cooldownSeconds = 0.25f;
            damage = 1;
            inaccuracy = 0.02f;
            bulletSpeed = 500;

            cooldownFrames = Mathf.FloorToInt(cooldownSeconds * 50);

            shotInaccuracyX = Random.Range(-inaccuracy, inaccuracy);
            shotInaccuracyY = Random.Range(-inaccuracy, inaccuracy);

            shotDir = origin.forward + new Vector3(shotInaccuracyY, shotInaccuracyX, 0);

            currentBullet = Instantiate(bullet) as GameObject;

            currentBullet.transform.position = origin.transform.position;
            currentBullet.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, origin.transform.rotation.x);
            currentBullet.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().velocity = shotDir * bulletSpeed;
            currentBullet.GetComponent<OBJECTS_BULLETS_BULLETBASIC>().bulletDamage = damage;

            GetComponent<AudioSource>().Play();
        }
        yield return null;
    }

    private void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetMouseButton(0))
        {
            shooting = true;
        }
        else
        {
            shooting = false;
        }

        if(cooldownFrames == 0 & shooting)
        {
            StartCoroutine(Shoot());
        }
    }

    private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        if (cooldownFrames > 0)
        {
            cooldownFrames--;
        }
    }
}

Any help is appreciated!

That’s a lot to cover in a single forum post, but if you’re feeling brave, I found this system which looks quite well thought out: Scriptable Object Practice — Matthew Rader-Scheitz
