Does any rogue out there have a gun?  It says we can use them with training, however, after buying a superb sniper rifle, and hopping to Ironforge for gun training, there is no option with the gun guy to train.  Also when trying to buy bullets and ammo pouch fom auction house it says - "can't equip this".  So what's the story - anyone know - as I shouldn't have been able to buy the gun if it couldn't be used.

Any help would be appreciated by this Lvl 42 Rogue.
Thanks
Elfiniti

I'm a lvl 31 human rogue, and I can equip guns and ammo. I haven't tried an ammo pouch, I just keep my ammo in my bags, but I am able to do some shooting. Rogues don't get Auto-shot, but I use the gun mainly for pulling.

You can buy whatever you want (even if you can't use it), you just can't equip it. As for the gun guy, are you sure he's the weapons trainer you need to be with?

If you're not sure, talk to a guard and ask for the location of a weapons master. Usually they (the weapons masters) will tell you where you need to go for training of a specific type of weapon.

But as to answer your first question. Yes I'm a rogue, and I'm a gun wielder.

Hope this helps!

deadly throw aren't available until very high lvl like 60 something so until then just get any gun, bow, crossbow or whatever that give good agility bonus. When you are able to get deadly throw, you can get a good thrown weapon called avenging's stars at Halaa in Nagrand.

Lvl 42 Night Elf Rogue, I use guns.  I trained in SW with Woo Ping, right next to Auction House.  I haven't used an ammo pouch because you don't need to hold that much ammo, and if you use one, all you can store in there is bullets.  So, stay away from ammo pouch if you can help it, as it just wastes a bag slot, IMO.  Hope this helps you.

lvl 45 rogue, I use a gun, mostly for the stat bonuses, only keep one slot for ammo in my bag - no need for a pouch, you'll only be using it as a draw  on occasion and your shoot/throw has a slow refresh/ready rate, def dont waste a bag slot with an ammo pouch if you're gonna use a bow or gun.

Weaps Masters for guns -
Buliwyf Stonehand in Military Ward in Ironforge for Alliance
Ansekhwa in Lower Rise Thunder Bluff for Horde

I used a bow or a crossbow until about 65, got the training at IF about lvl 20 but never used it. Got a great gun as quest reward with nice stats and ran around noob towns getting my number up. I've reached the point where I'm gonna go to the Felsteel Daggers but don't have the ambition to drive the number past 300 yet. I get 800+ dmg quite offen on cloth wearers trying to freeze me and run away so I Like My Gun!

Im lv 51 gnome rogue i got guns too. Just go to wep master in SW or IF to learn it.. But I think thrown is better, you got more space in your bag and I don't think thrown hits much less than guns.. If you are 60+ you can also use deadly throw and that is much better than guns. So I suggest to use thrown..

VERY early on, I got my Gun.  I looked up what the lvl req was and went WAY out of my way to get it then.  I just think they're cool.  I get a lot of sh!t from ppl for having 1.  "Rogue's don't need a gun, all it's for is pulling."  So what!  I have a gun for pulling, BFD.

I rarely use it b/c of stealth sapping or Ambush, etc.  Now that I'm lvl 387 and Engi-nerd-ing lvl 280, I have a really cool gun w/+5 Agi, and +3 damage w/Accurate Scope.  Lvl 39, and I get  +6 stam (I think) w/Accurate scope.

Considering upgrading to a thrown weapon w/better stats (not dps, but +'s to stat stats).  I like my gun and am content, so I don't really care.

Ultimately you want a thrown weapon because 1)the rate of fire is faster and 2)deadly throw is very handy when the chump you almost one-hit tries to run.  But since it's very hard to find decent thrown until higher levels, a gun will do the trick at level 42.

After much time spent looking for a gun Trainer, I found out that you must go to Buliwyf Stonehand at Ironforge (61,89). He is in the Military ward in Southern Ironforge.

He was able to train me for Guns and One-Handed Maces.

I hope This is Helpful!
