The Uragaan set tends to be recommended for sleep bombing sets since it reduces recoil, which status shots tend to carry, and gives you the Bomb Boost armor skill, which'll give you 100% combo rates of LBB+s.

Surprisingly, the Alatreon set (which is probably a bit far) is actually really great for elemental gunning. Unlike the blademaster set, the head piece changes some of the elemental resistances, so it's not as terrible. It also has the skill set that adds an additional shot to elemental rapid firing, making it all the more handy. Evade Up is also a nice skill to have on a gunner armor. I would recommend against using Normal 1 shots, since they're very weak and not a great source of damage. If you want to go to Moga Woods for free hunt, I'd suggest you bring along a blademaster weapon, unless you want to farm bugs, in which case, bring a gun to shoot Poison S and poison smoke bombs. In Free Hunt, there's no punishment for dying, so there's nothing to worry about, beyond losing some food buffs.
