Nextbot Gun Problems

[MysticLlama]

So i made a nextbot that can hold a gun, but i'm running into some problems

First off, i'm trying out some firebullets code, but it dosen't seem to actually fire bullets, even though the code seems to properly execute:

function ENT:FireWeapon()
        
        local wep = self.Weapon
        
        local muzzle = wep:LookupAttachment("muzzle")
		
		local muzzlepos = wep:GetAttachment(1)
		print(muzzlepos)
		
        local spread = .1
        
        local shootPos = muzzlepos.Pos
               
            local bullet = {}
                bullet.Num = 1
                bullet.Src = shootPos
                bullet.Dir = self:GetForward() -- ENT:GetAimVector() equivalent
                bullet.Spread = Vector( spread * 0.1 , spread * 0.1, 0)
                bullet.Tracer = 1
                bullet.TracerName    = "Tracer"
                bullet.Force = 20
                bullet.Damage = 4
                bullet.AmmoType = "Pistol"
				bullet.Callback = function(attacker, tr, dmginfo)
					dmginfo:SetDamageType(DMG_SHOCK)
					end
        
            wep:FireBullets(bullet)
            print("Fired bullets")
        
    end

both print statements execute, and i get no errors

and the second problem; is there a way to tell weapons to not be able to be picked up by the player? Because my Bot has an SMG, but if he tries to come into melee range, i pickup his SMG from his hands, and my bot's code derps up, because now it has no weapon to reference.

Use this hook and return false if the it's the nextbot's weapon, I believe that should work for the second problem
