[edit] Gunlance Guide
Gunlance-
Matches the mobility of a Lance with a Shelling ability that comes close to the firepower of a Bowgun, making it the ultimate weapon to some ardent Hunters. Yet, all of this power and ability come at a cost of low sharpness. The Gunlance features a powerful function based on flame-breath attacks called Wyvern's Fire; however, this special function requires a long recharge time.
[edit] Attacks:
Unsheathe attack / Mini-charge - Pressing triangle while moving in a directing with your weapon sheathed.
Triangle - Foreward thrust (up to three times in a row)
Circle - Fire (Shelling ability)
Triangle and Circle- Upward Swing
R Button - Guard
R and Triangle- Guard Attack
R and Circle - Reload - Reload faster by pressing X then O to hop backwards and reload in the same manoeuvre
R and Triangle and Circle - Wyvern's Fire
R and Triangle (with weapon put away and stationary) - Guard
R and Triangle and Circle (with weapon put away and running/sprinting)- Quick Guard
Starting with MHP2G you can combo a guard attack or an upward swing to a mini-charge by shelling first then holding forward and pressing triangle. Also the gunlance guard attack was nerfed by making the guard stabs happen much slower, however the straight jabs were given a slight speed boost.

[edit] Good Armours for Gunlancing
[edit] Basically the main skills for improving your GL are Guard+2 and gunnery. so here are a few ways of getting them:
- hermitaur head, torso and vambraces with giaprey tasset and genprey leggings will get you guard+1, throwing up and def+20. IF you can afford 5 firestones for howitzer jewels you can get gunnery skill. this set also gives half decent water resistance
- Full hi-metal armour will get you gunnery skill.(I wouldn't bother getting this as i think it is not worth its materials).
- full gravios armour will give you guard+1 but unless you can jewel out the negative stamina skill it is not that good except for its good def. grav D will get you guard inc so you can guard against stuff like breath attacks and gas farts.(note:you don't need this skill to guard against khezu's thunder self shock.)
- to advance to high rank I advise getting as much of the gaoren set as you can. you might have trouble with rathalos plate for helm.
- when you've gotten used to high rank quests I suggest using hermitaur S with velociprey tasset S and ioprey leggings S. it gives you guard+1, throwing up and def+20 but has more defence than low rank.more slots too.
- Another good set to get is guardian U as it has gunnery king without jewels.although it has quite low def so improvements may be needed.this set gets you gunnery king and divine protection but the good thing about this set is it has 11 slots for you to use on guard, autotracker, health and even reckless abandon(wink wink). you would think nothing would flaw it but it has 0 resistance to every element.
[edit] Types of Shellings:
There are 3 types of Gun Lance shells
1.Normal(weakest)- It is like a small barrel bomb explosion.
2.Long- This has a longer explosion. Useful against fast moving enemies like Bulldromes and Bulfangos
3.Scatter(strongest)- This is the strongest type of shelling, but it can only fire 2 times. Its explosion is like 3 small barrel bombs exploding at the same time. This makes it useful against large wyverns.
