1) Never used 'em, never will.

2) See above.

3) I do like the looks of the Alatreon Bowgun, as well as the Gigginox one.

4) I think they could have another melee attack or two, so you can use them like a Hunting Horn. I can easily see a hunter whacking a monster in the face with a Qurupeco Bowgun, Hunting Horn style.
