I really love HBG, whenever I get stuck or the difficulty changes -i.e. high rank to high rank-, I would grab my trusted HBG and just destroy any quest, regardless of difficulty. Taz Lao Shan Cannon + elemental set and E.Conga/Narga set + yamatsukami HBG <- these are 2 of the most powerful and fun to use sets in MHFU.

I tend to use either Hammer or Heavy Bowgun. However, in P3rd, hbg felt extremelly wierd and sometimes underpowered. I had my fair share of gunning in P3rd, in most cases it was much faster to use a LBG. Even though, there were many very powerful hbg sets - e.g. peco/amatsu HBG for pellets vs Jinouga/Amatsu [pellet worked really well for me on Amatsu].

I hope MH3G/U [not sure how to call it no that the western name has been revealed] bring back the same "feel" that HBG had in MHFU, but with the mechanics of P3rd

P.S. I miss Tri's stock/frame/barrel system, along with Light/Medium/Heavy bowgun types. it's a shame they got completely rid of it
