Guns are ranged weapons that fire bullets or Candy Corns as ammunition.

All guns can benefit from the damage bonus of the Shroomite Mask and are applicable for the zoom ability of the Rifle Scope or its upgrades. Possession of any bullet-firing gun or bullet fulfills the spawning condition of the Arms Dealer NPC (see detailed criteria).

Several items are also referred to using gun terminology in-game (e.g. Flare Gun, Piranha Gun, Space Gun, Water Gun, or Laser Rifle), but these do not either deal ranged damage or consume ammunition, hence they are not categorized as guns on the wiki.

The best modifier for guns is Unreal, with the exception of guns without knockback.
