You didn't have your instantiation defined correctly. The new "bullet1" needs to be set as a "clone" pretty much. You just had var bullet1 : Rigidbody; then your instantiate command for Bullet. It needs to be var bullet1 = Instantiate(Bullet... Because when you were adding force to bullet1, it was null. It's also a good idea to disable gravity on this rigidbody since it's going to be used as a bullet. As well, set the collision detection to Continuous Dynamic if you want it to be able to detect such fast collisions. I just used mousebutton 0 (left click) here so I could test it ( I don't have Fire defined.) You actually may have had the first part set up right, the format on this site is making it show up wrong. But if you try this script, it will work.

 var Bullet : Rigidbody;
 var Spawn : Transform;
 var BulletSpeed : float = 1000;
 var fwd : Vector3;
 
 function Start () 
 {
 
 }
 
 function Update () 
 {
     fwd = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward);
     if(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)) 
     {
         Fire();
     }
 }
 
 function Fire()
 {
        var bullet1 : Rigidbody;
        bullet1 = Instantiate(Bullet, Spawn.position, Spawn.rotation) as Rigidbody;
        bullet1.rigidbody.useGravity = false;
        bullet1.rigidbody.AddForce(fwd * BulletSpeed, ForceMode.Impulse);
 }

Just some tips on using this 'site (for ALL new users) :

How to reply to an answer / post a comment :

To make a comment , USE the [add new comment] button, a window then opens to type in. The answer fields are for ANSWERS, so unless you are answering your own question , DON'T write in an answer box. This helps the 'site work properly, especially when other people are searching for answers, and want to read answers , not comments.

How to accept an answer :

On the left-hand-side of the Answer box , there are the following icons :

  Thumb Up
  Number (of votes)
  Thumb Down
  A Tick/check mark

If an answer worked for you , click on the 'Tick' , the answer should now be highlighted in green. If you like an answer on Any question , you can click on the Thumb UP , the thumb should now be highlighted in green , and the number of votes should rise by 1.

When your karma rises above 15, you can upvote any answer (on any question) you like or think is correct, this gives the person karma for their time and effort.

IF your question changes slightly while commenting and reading comments , EDIT the original Question, so anyone reading from the beginning knows what you are asking.

This will make for a happy experience for everyone. I made mistakes starting on this 'site too, but everyone is helpful if you learn and change these habits.

Following these simple steps helps the website work , and other readers to find answers also.

Happy Coding =]
