I was hoping that someone could show me how to make a Star-Wars type laser gun. I tried searching it but i was not sure what way was best, some people say to use particle systems and some say to use line renders.

First you need to model the gun so you aren’t just shooting lasers out of a cube.
Then you would need to use something as the ‘laser’ like a skinny and long capsule and have it instantiate at the tip of you gun.
Then use a rigidbody.AddForce to make the laser shoot forward
Add a particle to the laser to make it glow
Something like this but more tuned towards a laser
