my character is a gun monkey as well. I use.... Dex 5 Firearms 5 Aim can give you a bouns of up to 5 for as many rounds (in conjunction with obfuscate and only for the first shot) Auspex 1 for another (1-3) bonus Lazer sights will negate penalties (-2 instead of -3 on cvalled shots) Spend blood to up Dex for a round (as much as they let you) Gunslinger and Ambidexterity - reroll shots with no penalty At BP 6 and higher Stats can increase past 5 Specialize in the weapons that you want to use (I have pistols, shotguns, crossbows [Crosbows can stake]) check the addendem and armory book for the 9 again weapons that have the highest yeild on bonus to the roll and fast reloads, as well as streangth restrictions.
and last but not least retainers and zombies for mobbing people. I use zombies as a sheild between me and my target (think World of Warcraft Hunter class) and retainers to be the other 3 attacks in the round causing more damage. when its all said and done your looking at around a 18+ base plus card and rerolling 9's with a retest if you pull badly. and then 3 retainers the will be doing close to that as well, each round. not to bad at all with the new 8/ 3 system greg In nomen of Abbas , Filius , quod Flamen permissum is Atrum Vates Nuntius orbis per sicco orbis terrarum.

Most crossbows typically give anywhere from +3 to +4 if you're lucky * specialize in a type of Firearms. I specialize in Crossbows, for the obvious reason( +1) So your total pool, if you're BP 1 is (~1-3)+5+5+(2+)+(2~4)+1 = 16~18+ die Pool. Finally, make sure that you get the Quick Draw and Gunslinger Merit. QD will allow you to pull and fire a weapon on the same turn, or reload and fire. Gunslinger will let you roll 2x and use the better of the two draws. Oh and if you're going with Two-gun slinging, get the ambidextrous merit that way you remove the offhand penalty.

Specialty in Sniping Sniper fighting style. This costs you 8 xp to do an average of 20 lethal a round from nearly any distance. Combat after the reset is just going to be silly. If you want to be a gun monkey, then two pistols with gun slinger and max dex/firearms is the trick.
