I really only used Pop Corn in MHFU for it is the only weapon being able to penetrate that badass armor mode of White Fatalis, though it was one of my few weapon of choice for fighting other monsters, but I went to prefer hammer over GL for they are more mobile.

That changed in MHP3, they got a whole lot of new awesome moves, which changed largely my opinion on GL. But they're still too slow for a dodging-based hunter like me, and I again preferred Switchaxes for I'm a badass with one of them in my hands. However, I really like to use them at some times, and they have great skins.

My favorite one is that Gold Rathian GL. Status weapon and it has a very good-looking skin, which for me is important to be a good weapon. =D The Amatsu Gunlance has great extra animations too.
