Blademasters:  Blango armor is your friend. Get any weapon with fire on it(dragon works but the dragon weapons in LR need HR upgrades to be of any use at all). Attack his legs until they are bright red, keep attacking them until he falls. Once he falls attack his face.

Gunners with no blademasters:  Major strategy change. Get a Heavy Bowgun that fires a lot of Pierce S and Fire S. Bring materials to make more. You may wish to get Monoblos armor and gem it for Adren+2. Otherwise grab a set with Element Atk Up or Pierce S Up(I would opt for the latter). Shoot his face, aim for going through his face to the back of his skull with Pierce S.

Gunners with blademasters:  If you aren't playng solo or with only other gunners you need to help the Blademasters out a bit. Shoot the legs with Fire S to help bring down the Gaoren. Once you're out of Fire S just follow the same tactics as above.
