try use input function or use

func _input(event: InputEvent) -> void:
    pass

something like :

if Input.is_action_pressed("Lclick") : # if you use Input.is_action_pressed it keep shoot until you release press, if you use Input.is_action_just_pressed it will shot once each click.
shoot() #shoot function
