Can’t fire gun

My gun will not fire. I right click on an enemy but it does nothing. Sorry, I’m a newbie.

Assuming you mean this character, guns were made mainly hunter weapons for sometime, I don’t think warriors have the shoot ability.

Well that makes sense. I wonder why it allows me to have a gun as a warrior but I can’t use it??

It is strange that it let you equip the item.*

If you look at your spellbook you should see a spell called “Weapon Skills” that will tell you what weapons you can use.

*Edit: Thanks to some clarification below and some additional research - the ability to equip seems intended even though it’s not a weapon class that warriors use.

Back when warriors, rogues, etc., could shoot guns, they had a “Shoot” skill.
Clicking the skill would enable you to fire one shot at a time.
There was even a gun with great warrior stats on it (Rowan’s something about Silver Bullets).

Hunters were the only class that could auto-shoot rather than just use single shots.

I’ll admit, I spent a lot more time double checking myself before posting in this thread because after 13yrs it all blurs together :laughing:

One of the common tickets I used to take as a Game Master was from caster classes that would put their wand on their action bar instead of the spell to auto attack.

So a part of me was like “Wait… CAN warriors still use guns?!”

Hello, not only can warriors equip bows/guns, they’re added to the transmog library as well :slight_smile: Now, we can’t transmog a sword into a gun or anything like that (yet), but our hunter alts get access to the mogs :smiley:

The only things we can’t equip are wands and warglaives, with the exception of the Azzinoth glaives since they’re swords.

Learned something new… That is a pretty cool farming hint for those trying to get mogs for their alts though. :slight_smile:
