砲手虽然在事实上是一种掠夺者，但是他们具有较高的军事素养，并且努力获取任何可能的军事装备。砲手的制服便是战前武装部队的制服，他们也配备军用护甲, worn with bandanas, sunglasses and military caps。[29]砲手也拥有部分重型武器，比如胖子核弹和导弹发射器，但通常只有高阶级成员才有资格使用。在某些地区，砲手甚至拥有 VB-02“飞鸟”垂直起降飞机。
In combat they will occasionally shout "get some!" This is possibly a reference to the helicopter gunner scene from the 1987 war drama Full Metal Jacket, and the 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines' motto.

Aggressive and fiercely territorial, Gunners are guaranteed to attack anyone who wanders into an area they’ve claimed as their own. They’re well equipped and well organized, and a group of Gunners almost always includes at least one combat-ready robot. Gunners can be found in Mass Bay Medical Center, Hub City Auto Wreckers, and many other locations throughout the Commonwealth. Gunner Humans Low-ranking Gunners are usually limited to the protection offered by simple clothing, accessories, and the occasional piece of leather armor. Gunners who have reached the rank of Private sport a few pieces of combat armor. Further promotions grant Gunners better-quality pieces of combat armor. Gunners also enjoy a vast arsenal of weapons. Combat rifles and laser rifles are popular choices—and no Gunner would ever be caught relying on a handmade pipe gun—but virtually any projectile weapon weapon has a chance of appearing in a Gunner’s hands. Even valuable plasma weapons can be found on high-level Gunners. Batons and rippers are sometimes used, as are fragmentation grenades, Molotov cocktails, and a variety of heavy guns. Gunner Robots With the exception of custom paint jobs, Gunner robots are identical to their standard counterparts. When fighting a Mr. Gutsy, check its arms to estimate its offensive capabilities, then attack its eyes and torso. It’s often best to slow an Assaultron by crippling its leg. Simply using your most powerful weapons against a Sentry Bot is usually your best option." (Fallout 4 Vault Dweller's Survival Guide Groups, Gangs, and Factions)
↑The Sole Survivor: "What was the Quincy Massacre?" Preston Garvey: "I thought everyone in the Commonwealth knew about that by now.Where the Minutemen betrayed each other, and the people they were supposed to protect.I was with Colonel Hollis's group. A mercenary group called the Gunners was attacking Quincy; the people there called for the Minutemen to help.We were the only ones that came. The other groups... they just turned their backs. On us, and the folks in Quincy.Only a few of us got out alive. Colonel Hollis was dead. So I ended up in charge of the survivors.We never found a safe place to settle. One disaster after another... you saw how it ended, in Concord." (Preston Garvey's dialogue)
