Bows or Guns ?
Whenever Ive talked to someone about this, they always choose guns, but I dont understand why. Admittedly, I stuck with Guns till I got to Phon Coast where I bought a Traitor Bow for Balthier and I never looked back.
They both have there pro's and con's but Im more fond of Bows.
I am a bows kind of gal
Me and my kids have dragon eggs:
I used them both and found them both pretty useful. I'm very surprised at how balanced the weapons came out in the end. I thought they were going to be all over the place.
Hmm...I think I like guns better simply because they have 100% accuracy. Bows are better if you're going to do Hunts n' such until you can buy Cat Ear Hoods, though.

I like guns for armour piercing.

i'm focusing on your image
can you hear me in the void?
I've never been able to equip Balthier with anything other than a gun. I can't help but see anything less as blasphemous. D=
"Armor piercing" just sounds nice rolling off the tongue for some reason. A word of advice, though, guns DON'T work well against Bomb type weapons.
But on the other hand, there are two types of bows:
"Bows & arrows" are fast weapons, "crossbows & bolt's" damage is regulated by defense. For some reason, in my experience, it seems that xbows are somewhat less accurate.

I've never used a gun, except the one Balthier has when you first get him. The guns that I have come across had too low of an attack rating for me; I use either a bow or a crossbow, depending on which has the higher attack rating.
I believe guns ignore defense, so a lower attack doesn't make the damage considerably lower. Guns usually dish out bigger damage than bows. Not sure about the comparison to crossbows, though; I've never used one.
Balthier looks better with a Katana IMHO. A gun makes him too "pruddy", too metrosexual
Me and my kids have dragon eggs:
I did always notice how guns always dealt about the same amount of damage as other weapons of their peer group despite their weak attack. Maybe they really do ignore defense.
Well, it says so right in the weapons section of traveller's tips...
guns deal really good damage on most enemies- as much as axes/ hammers against the right enemies with the right ammo equipped.

Why is guns attack power so low? I use bows, people!
I kept with the traditional gun on Balthier and bow on Fran. My gun with 'low attack power' and its defense piercing does more damage than any of my other characters except for a Bravery-ed Vaan 5 levels higher. I have Assassin Arrows on Fran, so about 25% of the time she insta-kills. Obviously every weapon has its strong point - poles chain attacks better, for example.
Crossbow.
