I've used both guns and irons. A gun gives you a little more opportunity to set things and then apply heat. An iron takes time to heat and takes longer to cool. I guess it really comes down to what type of application, but for just soldering wires together, I've rapped the wires and solder together and then applied heat and the results have been pretty good. You can tell of course when the solder is flowing, but you aren't always sure if you've gotten the entire length of wire. A gun might prove more helpful in those situations where you have to solder a wire to a contact point. I've not been overly successful with this operation. All of these observations are just from my experience. Good luck with your soldering project.
