How to rotate my weapon into another direction by changing this script?

Hi Im currently trying to make this script work with a prefab. the prefab itself goes to the right direction on its own. but as soon as i add this prefab under this script, the prefab goes other way around. please help me identify an alternative with this script so i can use it for many circumstances

using UnityEngine;

public class WeaponScript : MonoBehaviour { //Projectile prefab for shotting public Transform shotPrefab;

// cooldown in the seconds between two shots;
public float shootingRate = 0.25f;

// cooldown

private float shootCooldown;

void Start ()
{ 
    shootCooldown = 0f;
}
void Update ()
{ 
    if (shootCooldown > 0)
    {shootCooldown -= Time.deltaTime;
    }
}



// Create a new projectile if possible

public void Attack(bool isEnemy)
{
    if (CanAttack)
    {
        shootCooldown = shootingRate;

        // Create a new shot 
        var shotTransform = Instantiate(shotPrefab) as Transform;

        // Assign position
        shotTransform.position = transform.position;

        // The is enemy property
        ShotScript shot = shotTransform.gameObject.GetComponent<ShotScript>();
        if (shotPrefab != null)
        {
            shot.isEnemyShot = isEnemy;
        }

        // Make the weapon shot always towards is 
        MoveScript move = shotTransform.gameObject.GetComponent<MoveScript>();
        if (move != null)
        {
            move.direction = this.transform.right; // towarrds in 2D space is the right of the sprite
        }
    }
}

// is the weapon ready to create a new projectile?

public bool CanAttack 
{
    get
    {
        return shootCooldown <= 0f;
    }
}

}
