Unity 2D: My laser script is getting stuck on an if statement and I don't know why - unity3d

Question

I've been making a laser in my 2D platformer for the past day. I've made the arm follow to cursor perfectly however on the script for the weapon it self doesn't work. Here is my code
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class Weapon : MonoBehaviour {
public float fireRate = 0;
public float Damage = 10;
public LayerMask whatToHit;
float timeToFire = 0;
Transform firePoint;
// Use this for initialization
void Awake () {
firePoint = transform.FindChild ("FirePoint");
if (firePoint == null) {
Debug.LogError ("No firePoint");
}
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
if (fireRate == 0) {
if (Input.GetButtonDown ("Fire1")) {
Shoot();
}
}
else {
if (Input.GetButton ("Fire1") && Time.time > timeToFire) {
timeToFire = Time.time + 1/fireRate;
Shoot();
}
}
}
void Shoot () {
Debug.Log ("Works");
Vector2 mousePosition = new Vector2 (Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint (Input.mousePosition).x, Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition).y);
Vector2 firePointPosition = new Vector2 (firePoint.position.x, firePoint.position.y);
RaycastHit2D hit = Physics2D.Raycast (firePointPosition, mousePosition-firePointPosition, 100, whatToHit);
Debug.DrawLine (firePointPosition, (mousePosition-firePointPosition)*100, Color.cyan);
Debug.Log ("Works 2");
if (hit.collider != null) {
Debug.Log ("Work 3");
Debug.DrawLine (firePointPosition, hit.point, Color.red);
Debug.Log ("We hit " + hit.collider.name + " and did " + Damage + " damage.");
}
}
}
The if statement in void Shoot isn't working. The first two debug messages in void Shoot show up in the log however the two in the if statement don't and I have no idea why. Can anyone help?
