Be prepared to be:
Ridiculed for the weapons you choose
Randomly kicked for carrying them
Getting asked not to use them
Experiencing that priceless feeling when you prevent a wipe cause the gunner can kite all day, dodge anything, and survive it all if he dont get stupid or greedy.

What? Unless you're wielding a Pulsar line that's unlikely to ever happen with guns...

Haven't had any problems,
Haven't had any problems, running around playing as Gunner. Your best bet is to do some crowd-clearing with charged Alchemer shots, and to use the Antigua lines for high mobility and constant damage. Pulsar lines are good, but don't whip them out in a party, you'll just frustrate bombers and swordfighters. -Do- carry a Flourish for the odd Wolver or Greaver. Callahan's good to carry around, if you need to lock down a specific enemy - it'll keep Menders staggered, and can interrupt Kat charges. And, naturally, Blitz Needle is your big ol' death cannon.
It won't be particularly difficult. Just keep things at a distance, abuse your shield push, and keep your dash handy. I'll agree with Hariender about turning off Auto-Aim, too. You can do a lot of neat tricks with guns, due to how certain bullets work - bouncing a single alchemer shot into the same enemy multiple times off their hitbox, or aiming AP / Sent shots between tightly clustered enemies, to hit a lot of them at once.

Gunning can be fun...
I wont say that I'm a pro gunna but, here is the story i have a really crappy computer and its so slow that the average load time is 2mins and im stuck on the roulmanous twins mission and every time i load i crash so its not possible to do the mission so i grind the jelly king for crowns and and tokens i actually is the 3rd best place for crowns (first being a Shadow lair second being FSC) so one day i decided to go do JK but guns only i used swift strike, gunslinger set shadow tech mk2 and volt tech mk2 and wit the technique of switching i could ezilly beat the whole level with no fuss or deaths and its hard to believe until uve tried it!! try the load out i had and see if u like it cos now I'm a committed gunna!!!

I'm not a pro gunner, I'm
I'm not a pro gunner, I'm just old. Most of the gunners I see also keep a fencing sword of sorts for greavers. Everything can be killed easialy with just guns. Not to say greavers can't bebeaten with guns, it's just quicker and safer to use a pointy sword.

Makes clockworks easier, has
Makes clockworks easier, has a higher learning curve then swordie in LD. Everyone has their own prefered style with this usually, you just gota watch others and test out some weapons/techniques that you'd like.
But i'm still gonna respond it
easy? yes since you can attack at distance.
challenging? in some place yes like tight spot or fast mover like devilite or greaver (>_> unless you using blitz its kinda make it easy)
great?yes on a certain degree,turning off AA and manually aim,trickshot with alch(sometimes amaze things happen),interupt enemies away from ally,if you can do 3 alch switch you can get 3 colour party :D
