Or just get Polaris like
Or just get Polaris like every other goddamn swordsman in the game and just blow through everything.

Elemental gun:
+ 2 out of 3
Elemental gun:
+ 2 out of 3 turret types take extra damage from it. The slime turrent takes neutral damage.
+ Gremlins and Beasts are not ideal gun targets since they dodge. Both resist elemental
Choices:
Argent Peacemaker
+ Many shots, allow for breaking boxes, minerals and blocks easily
+ High single target dps.
+ Charge can be used to stop a turret from shooting (fsc turrent room on lvl 25)
- low damage vs multiple enemies
Polaris
+ knockback, can be used to push back many monsters,
+ shock status for a bit of crowd control
+ 3 shot clip to break stuff relatively quickly
+ normal shots can interrupt turrets
+ decent damage against crowds of enemies if you know how to place shots.
- Knockback, can annoy teammates
- Skillless shooting will lower your dps considerablly
Alchemers
+ good damage if you know how to use it to maximize chances of ricochets.
+ potentially the most damage against multiple enemies.
- 2 shot clip, slowest at breaking stuff
Recommendation:
Argent peacekeeper
If you solo a lot and want to play it safe, polaris.

Argent peacemaker hinders you
Argent peacemaker hinders you slightly more than an alchemer mobility-wise.
Polaris shock will cancel knockback, and a Supernova is superior as far as utilizing the knockback goes. However, the Polaris has other benefits.
Alchemers, make sure you shoot and pause for survivability. And no, you do not spam charge attacks with alchemers 24/7. That is almost as silly as taking Polaris as your only elemental DPS weapon as a pure gunner.
If you double clip (shoot so that the split bullet automatically hits the same target twice) with an alchemer roughly 2/5 of your bullets, then it is superior to AP or Sentenza in single target damage. Because there are times when it isn't even possible to double clip, and times when the monsters are not fat enough to do this, the alchemers are not considered higher single target DPS than the antiguas on normal enemies. However, on a boss like the jelly king / royal jelly / ice queen, you can double clip far more times than 2/5 if you learn how to position.

Iron slug is easily the best
Iron slug is easily the best gun for all runs.
That is of course, presuming that you care only about looking cool, and not using mainstream weapons. Although volcanic pepperbox is also a viable option.

Magma / Bio / Plague is fun for looking cool and filling in those specialty damages at the same time :3
