how about the sheild gun? i know gunners already have the ability to block but it's more like a coin flip sometimes and well.. if capcom could give an axe weapon the ability to block why not a gun? my idea is a sheild with both attack and impact damage with it's own moves and a smaller gun like you suggested with maybe only shots like pellet, exhaust and what not where the weapon has another mode in which you combine the shield and gun into a heavy bowgun like weapon that slows you're movement it has a seige mode and can fire heavier bullets with maybe the addition of all elemental/status bullets gain a certain amount of power depending on the type of sheild gun.
