Well, in MH1 I used a gunner. The thing about gunners is that it WILL take you longer to beat a boss with one. However, gunners are also far safer because of their long range and can easily take out Brute Wyverns on other heavy monsters. In MH3 I tried being a gunner but the gun controls on the wiimote were too complicated for me.

((As a gunner, make sure you buy ammo before leaving on a mission.))
