@PhilipJeffrey This needs to go in initialize

    // Event for mouse button left fire
    this.app.mouse.on(pc.EVENT_MOUSEDOWN, this.mouseDown, this);

And then you have to handle the event.

// Handle mouse down event
GunShoot.prototype.mouseDown = function(e) {

    // Check for Mouse left button
    if(this.entity.enabled && e.button == pc.MOUSEBUTTON_LEFT) {
        
        if(this.bulletCntr != 0) {

            // Process action
            this.shoot();
        }           
    }

};
