Using the arrow keys to shoot using c#

Hey I’m using this simple code for my player to shoot. But how do I get the player to shoot in each direction of the arrow keys? so far he only shoots right.
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class arrowKeysShoot : MonoBehaviour {

	public Transform Gun;
	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {
		if (Input.GetKeyDown ("up")) {
			Instantiate(Gun, transform.position,Quaternion.identity);
				}
	
	}
}

How can I get him to shoot up when up is pressed and etc for the other directions?
Thank you!

u might want to test this option

public class arrowKeysShoot : MonoBehaviour {
 
    public GameObject Gun;
    public GameObject bulletgo;
    public int shootforce;
    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update () {
        if (Input.GetKeyDown ("up")) {
GameObject bullet = Instantiate (bulletgo, Gun.transform.position, Gun.transform.rotation) as GameObject;
     bullet.rigidbody2D.AddForce (bullet.transform.forward * shootforce); 
      }
 
    }
}

u might want to change the bullet.transform.forward to bullet.transform.up if u want to change the axis it works on
i just dont know on what axis u work on

hope u understood something out of my sloppiness

Don’t use identity. Use a different rotation.
