Guns vs Bows

[mozibake]

It seems like there are plenty of good bows out there, but hardly any guns. Where would a Dwarf hunter wanting to get maximal use out of their gun skill racial find a decent gun, both while leveling and at 60?

At 60 you shouldn't even consider using a gun other than that one from Ouro in AQ40.

I have a theory that Blizzard made bows and guns slightly worse due to 305 ranged skill lowering hitcap to 6% (basically been proven here on Nost), and therefore making xbows of higher tier at endgame (Ashjre'Thul/Nerubian Slavemaker best weapons by far). The idea is that you can replace 3% hitgear playing dwarf/troll, but in the end the advantage isn't strong enough to go with for example Dragonbreath Handcannon rather than Ashjre'Thul.

Bows and guns are pretty much the same, you have Rhok'Delar sure, but then there is Larvae from AQ which is the third best hunter weapon in vanilla. If you are a seasoned raider, you always go for the best regardless of type (rip gun dwarves).
