Guns in Guild Wars 2?

[Venn]

I'm a real life ex soldier so guns and bows have a apeal to me. I'm more worried to see how the guns will fit in the mechanic of the game but from what i've seen its nothing to worry about.

I like the one that looks like a winchester.

Yeah I'd imagine it could even be instant cast on some weapons and a "cast time" or cooldown with some reloading animations. Kinda like what most games do with crossbows. Champions Online does guns really well.

My and some guildies were thinking they could add an old fashioned western style duel minigame with pistols only :D
Winner takes the 10k!

if they can figure out a way to pull that off, I will be spending all my time becoming the fastest draw in Guild Wars 2. If I can get my Asura a cowboy hat, all the better.

Asura a cowboy OMG!! that would be sick!! and so funny! but what i want to know is Will all class's get a gun or bow?? or will only a few class's get it, and will the other class's get some other wand style range move.

So far only the warrior class has a rifle listed as a usable weapon if you check them out on the professions page. May be other unrevealed classes that'll be able to use them though. I'd almost guarantee it. Rangers get bows/swords/etc., eles get staff/focus/scepter etc.

at this point there are 1 soldier 2 Adventures & 1 scholar left that being said, (the following is pure speculation) the Heavy = Templar/paladin, light = Mesmer, 2 mids and i have seen a lot of opinions that it could be a gunner and an assassin but with what i know of the ranger i would think an assassin and gunner be the same class
