When I run this script, this error pops up.

I just tried it and it works fine. I had some fun throwing chairs and father Grigori. Script should be in addons/whatever/lua/weapons/whatever/shared.lua
Move the code to lua/weapons.
Moving to code to lua/weapons did remove the error. But the gun doesn't appear in the game. I tried lua_openscript But it said that the file could not be found.
Try give romester_fun_gun
Thanks everyone for helping out.
