Hands down it has to be World's End. The name, design, and power just makes it the champion of all Gunlances for me. "World's End" just sounds like the perfect name for a weapon meant to destroy dragons. The design of the weapon itself is sleek, complimented by a well-shaped shield that looks sturdy and well furnished with the scales of the Silver Rathalos. When it comes to power... this lance excels so much, especially with its shelling.

MHP3rd is definitely my preferred game at the moment - the GL feels so much more refined in the 3rd gen. I will most certainly be using them in MH3U as well.

Overall I believe the GL is a great addition to the series. Capcom made it different enough from the Lance to warrant their existence. I don't use them too often, and I'm not the best with them by far, but I always enjoy playing around with them regardless.
