Overview

Twin Machine Guns

Being one of the Gunner's choice of weapons, many of its PAs are intended for short-range stand-alone attacks. Each of the PAs have a clear personality to them and some are easy to maintain altitude with, making them more versatile in the air rather than on the ground.

In addition, many of the PAs can be canceled by Stylish Roll in most timings, providing excellent evasion.
Many of the PAs have faster animation when activated in the air compared to on the ground.
Certain PAs can launch enemies as well.

All of the PAs allow the user to not be staggered during their animations, and will not be interrupted except for incapacitation, stun, or freeze.
This in turn offers airborne stability and prowess when dealing with Chain Finishers.
A few PAs offer guard frames too (but limited to strictly melee based PAs).

Regarding Melee Based PAs

For melee based attacks in certain PAs, their specifications are slightly different than normal. This includes Aerial Fire, Bullet Hail (kickdown), Assault Advance, Gunslinger Spin, and Heel Stab (heel drop).

Attribute	Element	Explanation
Attack Power	RNG	The damage increases as the stated power increases. No effect if it is not the stated power.
Enemy Defense Power	RNG Def	The damage decreases as the stated defense increases. No effect if it is not the stated defense.
Weapon Element Damage	RNG	The weapon's Element Value is applied to both attributes. If you attack the enemy with Fire weakness with a Fire Element weapon, the damage will be increased accordingly.
Part Boost	Melee	The damage dealt by the player increases or decreases depending on the enemy's Melee part multiplier. Attacking the enemy's head will not trigger a "headshot" as it is not a Ranged part multiplier.
Final Attack Type	Ranged	Class skills, skill rings, potentials, etc. are determined in this category. For example, Point Blank Boost and etc. are applied. On the contrary, the melee potency of Fury Stance is not applied, but the ranged potency is applied.
