Ranged2 Icon IS Gun (銃撃, Juugeki)?, sometimes called Shot or Gunfire, is an element of physical attacks in certain games in the Megami Tensei franchise. While the name primarily refers to firearms carried by certain player characters, it also applies to physical projectile attacks used by some demons (such as Needle Shot).

Being physical attacks, most Gun skills consume a percentage of HP to use.

Persona 5[]

In Persona 5, each party member in the Phantom Thieves of Hearts have access to a gun with limited ammo, refilled after leaving the Metaverse or using Reserve Ammo. Each party member has a different amount of ammo, accuracy and damage with their bullets. The protagonist can go to Munehisa Iwai's shop Untouchable to purchase or customize guns. Certain Personas can also be transformed into weapons with the Electric Chair in the Velvet Room, although certain guns will not be available for creation until their user has officially joined. For example, Yurlungur's Electric Chair result, the Mirrirmina, is listed as unknown until Makoto Niijima joins the Phantom Thieves, as only she uses revolvers.

There are no passive skills that defend against Gun skills, although some Personas innately have an affinity to them.

One-shot Kill Severe Gun damage to 1 foe. High critical rate.
Triple Down Light Gun damage to all foes 3x.

Additionally, Double Shot has been added, and Dream Needle's type had been changed from Physical to Gun.

Skill Effect
Dream Needle Light Gun damage to 1 foe. Sleep (med).
Double Shot Light Gun damage to one foe 2x.
