Guns (銃, Juu?), also called Fire Arms and Handguns, are a recurring weapon type in the Final Fantasy series. They are ranged weapons which propel bullets toward foes. In some games, the damage they deal is never based on the characters' Strength, but rather based on the gun's attack power. Guns are only available in some of the latest games, and are usually equipped by Gunners or Machinists.
Appearances

Template:Sideicon Valkus primarily uses guns in battle. Over the course of the story he is seen wielding a pistol and later a pair of machine guns.

Guns make their first appearance. The gun-arm, the weapon of Barret Wallace, and handguns, shotguns, and rifles, used by Vincent Valentine, are the ones available to the party.
Other guns also make an appearance, like the Mako-gun, used by Palmer, Rufus Shinra's shotgun, and Dyne's gun-arm, called a Needle Gun. Soldiers from the Shinra Army also use machine guns nearly identical to the one used by Laguna Loire in Final Fantasy VIII.

As Vincent Valentine is the only playable character, the whole arsenal consists of long-range, customizable guns. The gun turret is different from the firearms Vincent carry, the gun turret is a weapon with unlimited ammunition. However, being immobile can make the player an easy target. Shalua Rui, a new character, also uses guns.
Two of the Tsviets (Nero the Sable and Azul the Cerulean) use guns in combat against Vincent, while two others Tsviets (Rosso the Crimson and Weiss the Immaculate) both use swords modified with guns.

Final Fantasy XII
Template:Sideicon
The Capella.
Guns can be equipped by any character who has acquired the necessary license, though Balthier joins the party with one equipped by default. Guns are the slowest weapons, but have perfect accuracy and ignore defense, however, some enemies have a trait which will reduce the damage drastically.
Guns, like all ranged weapons, are incapable of multiple hits, but can deal critical damage from time to time. Also notable are the guns' names, which are also the names of various stars.
In the International Zodiac Job System, the Machinist has access to all guns but the Shikari can also access a few.
The damage formula for guns is:
![{\displaystyle DMG=[ATK*RANDOM(1..1.125)]^{2}}](https://services.fandom.com/mathoid-facade/v1/media/math/render/svg/a8ffd7e90a6dba146336c792fab268fc5ac8b0f0)
Due to the weight put exclusively on the combined Attack Power of the gun and ammo, a character with low Strength stat can benefit from using it. Guns will almost never hit for around 9,999 points of damage as there are no guns and ammo to increase the Attack Power to 100 points. A character equipped with the strongest gun and ammoFolmalhaut with Dark or Windslicer Shot (original version); Aldebaran Y with Dark or Windslicer Shot (International Zodiac Job System) can deal up to 3,6906201 (International Zodiac Job System) points of damage. Additionally, attacking under Bravery raises the damage output as well increasing it to up to 4,7978061 (International Zodiac Job System) points of damage.
