I am creating a basic shooting mechanism, where the bullet ends at the end of a LineRenderer. My code for the instantiated bullet is as follows:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class BulletScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] PlayerAttacking PA;
    [SerializeField] float speed;
    Vector3 BulletEndDist;

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start() {
        PA = GameObject.Find("AttackTrail").GetComponent<PlayerAttacking>();
        BulletEndDist = transform.position   (transform.forward * PA.TrailDistance) ;
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update() {
        if(transform.position == BulletEndDist)
        {
            Destroy(this.gameObject);
        }
        transform.Translate(new Vector3(0, 0, speed));
    }

    private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision) {
        if(collision.transform.tag == "Enemy")
        {
            // Decrease health
            Destroy(this.gameObject);
        }
        else
        {
            Destroy(this.gameObject);
        }
    }
}

The problem I am getting is the bullet never gets destroyed, and through some Debug.Logs I found its not entering the if condition in the Update. This makes no sense as surely the bullet should get to BulletEndDist eventually? Please help!

If you want to check for the distance of the bullet from the player, you should use the Vector3.Distance function, to calculate the distance into a float, that you can compare to the maximum distanse you want the bullet to be from the player.
