    The Code:
    gameObject.Find("AOB").GetComponent(Text).text="Amount of Bullets:"+Bullet;

    it returned "Unknown identifier:'Text'. "

    does the Text Component have another name instead of "Text"?

    As it's C# it is better to do the following :
    Code (CSharp):
    1. gameObject.Find("AOB").GetComponent<UnityEngine.UI.Text>().text
    Either will work but I'm told this is marginally faster
