1) Hate this weapon with a passion. I just can't master it. I've used pretty much every single other Blademaster weapon, including the Great Sword (which I used to hate just as much), but nope - the Gunlance just continues to frustrate me.

2) What makes it "special"? It's the one weapon that refuses to work for me.

3) Sure, it explodes at the pointy end, but for me, the Lance is far superior. I didn't like using it in 4 Ultimate all that much, but it was a ton of fun in 3 Ultimate against underwater monsters, Rathalos, Diablos, Agnaktor, and Deviljho.

4) I'm actually interested in Frontier's Gunlance. They've done some pretty unique things to it.

5) All of them except Frontier, lol.

6) No. In fact, nothing quite makes my day as much as being thrown away from a monster I was just about to use a perfectly-timed Hunter Art on. /sarcasm

7) Improved? I don't think so.

8) Custom how? I'm not quite sure what this means.

9) I'm actually quite a fan of the Seltas Queen one, since it's basically a giant exploding drill. It's also what I used in 4 Ultimate to try and learn the Gunlance (which didn't quite work out).

10) The Gypceros one looks pretty weird.

11) Not really, for reasons stated above. Multiple times. I'll say it again, I can't use the Gunlance.

12) How about the ability to aim it downwards and use it to rocket into the air? You have to admit, that'd be pretty badass.
