Sniper rifle not being able to fire for 1-2 seconds

I am using an L96A1 sniper rifle in the engine but i can left click and use it as an semi automatic sniper rifle it’s an bolt action rifle how can i do so you have to wait like 0.5 seconds before shooting your next bullet

Declare a variable that will hold the time since you last shot.

float timeSinceLastShot = 0f;

Then in update you do:

timeSinceLastShot += Time.deltaTime;

In your shooting code you then do:

if(timeSinceLastShot >= 0.5f) {
  //shoot
  timeSinceLastShot = 0;
}

You could also use real time. In that case you could also drop the sum in update function.
