IThere are 3 types of shells. normal,long,and spread. Also they are very good at defense and good for fighting monsters like Tigrex, narcarcuga, ect. But they do make you very slow. Also the gunlance has a powerful skill called wyverns fire that can be a finishing move on monsters. lastly you can also move and attack like the lance. If you are going to play mh3u make good use of the new combos and the rapid fire shelling move which could come in handy when monsters are down or tired. Hope this info works.
