Unity - Destroying game object with tag "enemy" with projectiles, ned help.

    Hey, so I feel that it's not a good sign I need a lot of help with this project XD Basically, I am making a 3rd person shooter, where the player is a robot who fights other robots by shooting them. However, the shots I fire do not destroy the enemies (labelled by tag "Enemy") but also, when they run into my robot, they then get destroyed. I was wondering how I can get it so the enemies get destroyed by my shot but don't get destroyed when they run into me. Here is my script:
    using UnityEngine;
    using UnityEngine.UI;

    public class TankShootingV2 : MonoBehaviour
    {
    public int m_PlayerNumber = 1; // Used to identify the different players.
    public Rigidbody m_Shell; // Prefab of the shell.
    public Transform m_FireTransform; // A child of the robot where the shells are spawned.
    public AudioSource m_ShootingAudio; // Reference to the audio source used to play the shooting audio. NB: different to the movement audio source.
    public AudioClip m_ChargingClip; // Audio that plays when each shot is charging up.
    public AudioClip m_FireClip; // Audio that plays when each shot is fired.
    public float m_MinLaunchForce = 15f; // The force given to the shell if the fire button is not held.
    public float m_MaxLaunchForce = 30f; // The force given to the shell if the fire button is held for the max charge time.
    public float m_MaxChargeTime = 0.75f; // How long the shell can charge for before it is fired at max force.

    private string m_FireButton; // The input axis that is used for launching shells.
    private float m_CurrentLaunchForce; // The force that will be given to the shell when the fire button is released.
    private float m_ChargeSpeed; // How fast the launch force increases, based on the max charge time.
    private bool m_Fired; // Whether or not the shell has been launched with this button press.





    private void Start()
    {
    // The fire axis is based on the player number.
    m_FireButton = "Fire" + m_PlayerNumber;

    // The rate that the launch force charges up is the range of possible forces by the max charge time.
    m_ChargeSpeed = (m_MaxLaunchForce - m_MinLaunchForce) / m_MaxChargeTime;
    }


    private void Update()
    {
    // The slider should have a default value of the minimum launch force.


    // If the max force has been exceeded and the shell hasn't yet been launched...
    if (m_CurrentLaunchForce >= m_MaxLaunchForce && !m_Fired)
    {
    // ... use the max force and launch the shell.
    m_CurrentLaunchForce = m_MaxLaunchForce;
    Fire();
    }
    // Otherwise, if the fire button has just started being pressed...
    else if (Input.GetButtonDown(m_FireButton))
    {
    // ... reset the fired flag and reset the launch force.
    m_Fired = false;
    m_CurrentLaunchForce = m_MinLaunchForce;

    // Change the clip to the charging clip and start it playing.
    m_ShootingAudio.clip = m_ChargingClip;
    m_ShootingAudio.Play();
    }
    // Otherwise, if the fire button is being held and the shell hasn't been launched yet...
    else if (Input.GetButton(m_FireButton) && !m_Fired)
    {
    // Increment the launch force and update the slider.
    m_CurrentLaunchForce += m_ChargeSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
    }
    // Otherwise, if the fire button is released and the shell hasn't been launched yet...
    else if (Input.GetButtonUp(m_FireButton) && !m_Fired)
    {
    // ... launch the shell.
    Fire();
    }
    }


    private void Fire()
    {
    // Set the fired flag so only Fire is only called once.
    m_Fired = true;

    // Create an instance of the shell and store a reference to it's rigidbody.
    Rigidbody shellInstance =
    Instantiate(m_Shell, m_FireTransform.position, m_FireTransform.rotation) as Rigidbody;

    // Set the shell's velocity to the launch force in the fire position's forward direction.
    shellInstance.velocity = m_CurrentLaunchForce * m_FireTransform.forward; ;

    // Change the clip to the firing clip and play it.
    m_ShootingAudio.clip = m_FireClip;
    m_ShootingAudio.Play();

    // Reset the launch force. This is a precaution in case of missing button events.
    m_CurrentLaunchForce = m_MinLaunchForce;
    }

    private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
    {
    // You probably want a check here to make sure you're hitting a zombie
    // Note that this is not the best method for doing so.
    if (collision.gameObject.tag == "Enemy")
    {
    Destroy(collision.gameObject);
    }
    }
    }

    I apologise for asking such a stupid question, I am just really stuck on this.

    OnCollisionEnter() gets collisions with the object the script is attached to (in this case your robot). So what you need to do is make a new script and attach it to the bullet prefab instead. Then have an OnColiisionEnter() bit in that like the one you have written. I you have any more questions ask away
