function Update(){

if(canShoot){

canShoot = false;
}

if(!canShoot){
yield WaitForSeconds(2);
canShoot = true;
}

}

a)

if (!canShoot){
t += 1 * Time.deltaTime;

   if (t > 2){
     canShoot = true;
   }
}

b)

function Update(){
if (!canShoot){
YieldCooldown();
}
}

function YieldCooldown() {
yield WaitForSeconds(2);
canShoot = true;
}

c) Unity - Scripting API: MonoBehaviour.InvokeRepeating

You can not place a yield ( a coroutine) inside an Update() function. This is because yield pauses the function it is in. An update continually runs every 30 milliseconds or something, so the result is a crash.
