hi, i am trying to get all lvl 3 gear and i need to decide on a handgun. I am trying to chose between the antigua and the catalyzer. I want a gun that will get continuously stronger as i rank up with each upgrade. I know that the argent peacemaker is good and so is the shadow one. Could anyone tell me which one I should get or maybe a different gun that you would recommend. Also, if you have any good lvl 3 armor helm or gun i will be happy to trade for one. Thanks.

The Antigua guns (all of
The Antigua guns (all of them) are built to deliver a constant stream of damage, this damage is fairly low but the clip size is large and can be used while moving. It isn't a gun to be used up in the face of monsters but rather to pick them apart from a distance. Of all the antiguas the Obsidian carbine is considered the best since it has a status, endgamewise you will need elemental guns and piercing guns and thus the Argent Peacemaker is the best Antigua for the FSC.
Catalyzers are a different story, they are slow and require some forethought to use. The charge bullet doesn't deal damage immediately but rather it floats around a target for a long time, in fact you can put several charges on one enemy at once. By using the regular bullet you can make all the charges on a target explode, dealing heavy damage to the target and anything nearby. In large parties though all your planning can go out the window in mere moments. This gun only comes in a normal and shadow/poison variant and can't really keep up with the fast pace of many endgame enemies, but it still is extremely fun to have especially when playing solo in jelly or construct levels.

SK has many guns to choose from, for you I would suggest learning how to use Alchemer charges. When you fire an alchemer charge the bullet splits into more bullets on impact, if aimed right these bullets can spawn inside the enemy instantly dealing heavy damage. The Nova/Umbra/Storm drivers are all good guns to get.
Another good solid gun is the Blaster (and it's upgrades). Both of the Pulsar lines are also very popular.
Of course if you plan on fighting vanaduke on a semi regular basis there is no reason not to get a Needle gun (the charge attacks is great if you can get behind Trojans)

Gunslinger Guide?
Have you read the Gunslinger Guide on the wiki? It's not great, but it's a good place to start.
I would recommend the alchemers. They have a higher learning curve than the Antiguas and the Pulsars, but they end up being more powerful, once you know how to use them. Catalyzers are fun, but as others have said they require some planning. Alchemers do a lot of damage (eventually), offer a variety of statuses, and are fun to use. Antiguas are tedious --- too much clicking. The Blaster line is also easy and effective.
In the later parts of this game, even the strongest armor lets through tons of damage. In order to stay alive, a player must avoid getting hit. Therefore most players choose armors that offer offensive bonuses, even at the cost of a little defense. Check out the Wolver (swords), Gunslinger (guns), Demo (bombs), and Chaos (all) armor lines.
I just realized i dont have nearly enough tokens for either, i will still like some reecommendations for the easiest to craft and maybe strongest tier 3 guns though
