I'm mainly worried about FSC. Currently I use:

DA
AP
Polaris
Blitz Needle
Fallen set
Grey Owlite Shield
Sword ASI module
Gun damage module

I'm contemplating switching out my Fallen set for one of them Gunslinger sets, but I'm not sure which one is best. I'll probably also switch out the Sword ASI mod for another gun mod, but I'm undecided on which to get as well.

Also, any other guns I should aim for? I was thinking Nova Driver, but Polaris already covers the elemental side well enough already. I also have Biohazard but it's pretty situational so I hardly use it.

if you are mainly concerned

if you are mainly concerned about FSC, i'd stick with the fallen set. all of the gunslinger sets don't offer any fire resistance.

A deadshot helm/armor?

I run:
Deadshot manteau (w/ fire uv) + vog cap (for swords)
2x gun dmg trinkets

The max damage to undead is nice with the polaris. The vhigh damage against vana is also very nice with a blitz.
I recommend this.

You could do deadshot + nameless, at the cost of vog's fire resist & sword asi for your DA. While gun asi is nice, its only added value is the ability to shield that much more quickly after shooting and a slightly higher dps.

You could do deadshot + fallen, but then you get a fiend penalty which could stop you from killing trojans in parties of 4 with 1 charge, it would also suck if you did UFSC since it would negate deadshot's curse resist.

If you're going specifically

If you're going specifically for FSC:
The deadshot set is nice, it will give the VH vs Undead to the DA as well, so you will cut through zombies easier, getting a fire resist UV on that set makes it very good.
You may want to switch the sword ASI for gun CTR or another gun damage mod, since the CTR will help out your Blitz quite a bit, but the damage mod will help all guns (though it may go to waste vs zombies and slags since you will already have Max damage vs Undead when used with full deadshot and 1 damage mod.)
I don't really think ASI will help out the guns you're using much, at least from my experience med ASI on your current guns don't really feel like much change compared to the other guns.

Other than FSC:
Nameless is one of the more popular gunslinger sets since it gives elemental defense, which is one of the most common damage types around the clockworks along with VH ASI total.
Then you could swap out the Sword Damage with gun ASI for Max ASI total with Med gun damage, it's a matter of preference on which you feel helps you out more, ASI or damage.
The charges on the other guns I don't feel are anywhere as useful as the Blitz, and when not in FSC it's a bit less common to be using the Blitz charge so I wouldn't waste a trinket slot for gun CTR in that case.
