Mhmm. I thought about it, and I already have a piercing gun and elemental gun. I was planning on getting a Biohazard anyway. A few quick questions:

Should I use a Callahan instead of a blitz for gunslinging?
What setup of armor would be the best? I was thinking Divine Veil/Justifier Poncho thing. (I only want to get one set for gunslinging.) Or should I just ditch piercing and try to get a UV for nameless/Deadshot?

Bombing:

Not much help needed here as I know a decent amount about them, but would this be fine?

Volc Demo Set
Shivermist UV CTR Low
Nitronome UV CTR Low
Dark Briar Barrage (Don't have yet)
Radiant Sun Shards (Don't have yet.)
-------------------------------------

I'd probably be best off testing all this to see what I like in the next test server, I'm already good and like bombing. Just was wondering if that was fine. Many need help on gunslinging, thanks.

DBB and RSS are a must-have

DBB and RSS are a must-have for any bomber. I'm slightly more partial to the VT and AoA for status bombs, but you've already got a Shivermist so there's no worries there.

If you've got plenty of spark tokens, you might be interested in going volcanic/mad or full mad and covering the appropriate status for the stratum with trinkets. Getting Max CTR and VH Damage without any UV or Trinkets is a pretty good deal all in all.

As for Callahan vs Blitz, well, there's whole threads about that. I don't personally think there's much between them in the big picture, just pick whichever one fits your style and preferred stratums.

I think Callahan vs Blitz

I think Callahan vs Blitz Needle depends on if you're an ASI or CTR gunner.

ASI gunner - Your everyday bread and butter Polaris/Bio/Callahan.
CTR gunner - Nova Driver/Umbra Driver/Blitz Needle.

Serious answer - buy an autogun or a needle shot. Use it for 2-3 runs. If you can actually shoot it without dying and actually deal some damage, go ahead and get Blitz. Otherwise, Callahan may (sadly) be your better option.

Hah.

Callahan is better. Abarthur says otherwise, but I watched his vid and saw that Callahan would be safer and faster then Blitz.
Justifier & Divine Veil is a good setup. I actually have a Justifier Jacket recipe if you want it. For a friend, 24K!!
Tell me what you would like. Callahan would be a better option imo.. and I have Strike Needle and Mega Magnus.
Put a message up topic. I'll check.

But in the end i have to be with Rangerwill ... 50% :P
Callahan is more safety than Blitz Needle, but Blitz Needle is way faster in killing. With Blitz Needle you must use charge only. Or as often as you can. Just watch the video, better after this buy 3* variant of both and test it by yourself. I am defninitly gonna make a Video of Callahan too.
