duuucks
^ I use a nameless/mad bomber combo.
-Nitro (you could easily sub it for a vortex as nitro in my case is only to relocate mobs - shield bumping works as well)
-RSS/Vapor Bomb
-[Elemental/shadow] so either polaris/prisma/bio/plasma/AP
-Callahan
this set is also nice in pvp as RSS will keep most strikers away and nitro delivers DPS in mobs. Callahan wrecks along with plasma to xD.
I find this works in most situations too!

Well i have a setup for bomber gunner and worked well...
If you can afford Trinkets:
The Setson way:
-Go full setson.
-Buy CTR BOMBS Trinkets.
- Use bombs for status and Heavy drivers (Nova) or other heavy dmg guns for ... dmg...
The Volcanic Mad Bomber way_
-Get Volc head and mad bomb suit.
-Buy DMG GUN Trinket, or CTR GUN (Asi if you want spam shoots.)
- Use Dark Briar Barrage, Nitronome, RSS for dmg and Alchemer charge attacks for insane dmg (you can use status alchemers too)
-Ok you can still use the Haze line but you are going the waste the DMG bomb uv, if you want only spam haze bombs is better the Setson way.
-Something Like Blitz Needle, Elemental Alchemer, Nitronome, Dark briar barrage ( Change blitz for other thing if you use this bomb)
If you CANT afford Trinkers:
The Setson way:
-Go full setson or Volcanic helm/Setson siut.
-Use Haze bombs line and 2 guns
-Something Like Blitz Needle, Elemental Alchemer, Shivermist, Ash of Agni.. any haze (if you go full setson.. use Shivermist)
The Mad bomber way:
-Same as the other but without trinkets.. dont worry, guns are awsome even without UVs.

Goldmaker, "W/O" is common
Goldmaker, "W/O" is common shorthand for "without," so "w/o trinkets" means "without trinkets."
Four-Eyes, I'm guessing you already noticed that your Mega Magnus is nice to have if you like to go without a sword, perhaps even essential to have. For 2-slot, though, the only bombs I know would combine well with it are the Nitronome family.
If you are interested in Vapouriser-type bombs, you might want to consider a Normal-type gun; the blast effect of Vapourisers is mostly just an afterthought, so they are poor choices for Meatloafing the damage bonuses. Having only one other weapon limits options. There are a lot of Normal-damage guns, but unfortunately no Alchemer. The Pulsar line seems to be the most highly recommended.
The whole autogun family is a sort of "love it or hate it" deal, though I get a distinct impression that people mostly convert from hating to loving rather than the other way. It is trickier to use than other guns, but offers one-charge kills against more targets than any other gun. The Volcanic Pepperbox gets a whole lot of disrespect, but if Autogun mechanics work well for you, (especially the pulling effect which the piercing lines lose) then it might be a great Normal-damage weapon to combine with Freezing bombs if you feel a need to avoid swords. The damage from a charge attack is wicked for all Autogun types, so it seems a natural fit for Freezing weapons. It also might be perversely amusing to freeze targets to set them up for a fiery flurry. As a bonus, the pulling effect of the charge attack comes in handy a lot, at least in my experience with the 2-star Autogun. (YMMV)
Another great synergy, if you go for a Freezing bomb, is the Catalysers; the charges are really special in that sticking them to a target does not unfreeze it. Well, I have only verified this with Toxic Catalyser, but it should be easy to find some one with a Normal-damage Catalyser and ask about it...

@Birgus: i know right but
@Birgus: i know right but Four-Eyes is not the only people who read the forum for a viable hybrid build.. And heck no, normal guns are worthless .. bombers problems are turrets. so a polaris works really well against turrets since radian sun shard ninja nerf (Jelly turrets "cough")

Ah, you were going off on a
Ah, you were going off on a tangent then. It's a logical enough tangent I really should have figured, but for some reason not having been exposed to some common online abbreviations struck me as plausible. Maybe it's your use of complete sentences and logical paragraph structure, I dunno.
I am just warming up to Normal damage, especially for guns, but cannot say all those guns are worthless if there are players who enjoy them. I utterly failed to see the appeal of Normal damage until I upgraded my Autogun to a Toxic Needle. I'm not saying it's a mistake, but I miss the ability to use the charge attack on some constructs and pull Menders out of their protective mobs, so I think I should get a Pepperbox too so I can do that when I feel more like that. Being able to melt slimes with splattery charges would be nice, and pulling Menders alone is worth the bonus damage IMO.
being a fellow gunner bomb, your on the right track for bombs, owlite shield is OP, which is good, alchemers are always good. though i cant say for magnus and sunset set, you need a gun expert for that.
but try mixing damage type armors
EX: jelly set with magic set, demo set with chroma set, ect.
i give you 9.4/10, which is good from a fellow gunner- bomber
