Exactly like a small, handheld canon, yes. And while I also prefer close combat when I can, sometimes I don't have that option and my gun is useful then. And unlike bows, you can use them fairly easily in close combat as well. Well, handguns anyway.
They're *very* useful for hunting. Where I come from, long-barreled guns are the main weapon used for hunting. My own gun is a handgun, but my friend back home that I hunt with has a few shotguns and rifles.
I see. I would have liked to try my hand at such a weapon. going into the wild to catch pokemon is fine but it doesn't have the same calming effect that a good hunt does.
No, it doesn't and I really do miss it, a little. [Both kinds of hunts, honestly. Tending the Autumn Court's barrow and hunting the Hedge to feed friends. The second happened more often, the first was more of a challenge.] And I know Thace regrets that we can't go on one together—I understand hunting was an important part of his people's culture, pre-spaceflight.
What did you hunt with back home? I can't think that swords would be very useful in hunting for food. Spears? Bows? (Thace says the traditional way for his people was with tooth and claw, but Galra *have* actual claws and nice, respectable fangs like that.)

I hunt with bows.
sometimes hounds too.
I dislike spears.
I find them unwieldy.
