2D Shooting at mouse position help

Hi guys,

So I am trying to make a 2D sidescroller,its been going well apart from now... I have tried to set up some shooting, to do this I have added a empty game object and named firePoint, this is the point that I want the laser trail prefab to spawn at, this works and it shoots off, however it doesn't shoot on the rotation of the mouse, however I am using some debugging techniques to draw a line, this works as I can see the line draw from the fire point and past the mouse on the right rotation so this is why I am confused as to why the laser prefab is not using the same angle, my code is below and I would be grateful for any suggestions or input.

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class Shooter : MonoBehaviour {
5.  
6.     public float fireRate = 0;
7.     public float damage = 10;
8.     public LayerMask whatToHit;
9.     public AudioClip laserSound;
10.     public Transform laserTrailPrefab;
11.  
12.     private float timeToFire = 0;
13.     Transform firePoint;
14.  
15.     // Use this for initialization
16.     void Awake () {
17.         firePoint = transform.FindChild ("FirePoint");
18.         if (firePoint == null) {
19.             Debug.LogError ("Fire Point is null");
20.         }
21.     }
22.    
23.     // Update is called once per frame
24.     void Update () {
25.         if (fireRate == 0) {
26.                         if (Input.GetButtonDown ("Fire1")) {
27.                                 Shoot ();
28.                         }
29.                 } else {
30.                     if (Input.GetButton ("Fire1") && Time.time > timeToFire) {
31.                 timeToFire = Time.time +1/fireRate;
32.                 Shoot();
33.             }
34.                 }
35.     }
36.     void Shoot () {
37.         Vector2 mousePosition = new Vector2 (Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint (Input.mousePosition).x, Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition).y);
38.         Vector2 firePointPosition = new Vector2 (firePoint.position.x, firePoint.position.y);
39.         RaycastHit2D hit = Physics2D.Raycast (firePointPosition, mousePosition-firePointPosition, 100, whatToHit);
40.         Effect ();
41.         Debug.DrawLine (firePointPosition, (mousePosition-firePointPosition)*100, Color.red);
42.  
43.  
44.         if (hit.collider != null) {
45.             Debug.DrawLine (firePointPosition, hit.point, Color.green);  
46.             Debug.Log ("We hit "+ hit.collider.name + " and did " + damage + " Damage.");
47.         }
48.     }
49.  
50.     void Effect() {
51.         Instantiate (laserTrailPrefab, firePoint.position, firePoint.rotation);
52.         audio.PlayOneShot (laserSound);
53.     }
54. }
55.  

Thank you
