I have this set up in a way I think it should work but it keeps saying “: Cannot implicitly convert type ‘string’ to ‘UnityEngine.GameObject’”

using UnityEngine.UI;

public GameObject Bs_In_Gun;
public float bullets; 
public float MaxBullets; 

void Start () {
                bullets  = MaxBullets; 
		Bs_In_Gun = GetComponent<Text> ().text = "" + bullets;
}

you’re assinning Bs_In_Gun, which is a game object, the string located in GetComponent ().text, and also the string of “” + bullets.
You need to remove the first part and just leave it as GetComponent ().text = “” + bullets;.
In case you were trying to get the text component in Bs_In_Gun, you need to write it like this:
Bs_In_Gun.GetComponent ().text = “” + bullets;
Not “=” but “.”
