A field gunner is a former member of an 18 man Field Gun team. The sport of Field Gun was played by the British Royal Navy up to 1999 and commemorates the Royal Navy involvement in the seige of Ladysmith, in 1900.
The sport involves a complete 12-pounder 4.7 inch field gun and limber, total weight 2100 lb. It has to be taken to pieces, moved over two 5 ft high walls, a 28ft wide chasm, and through two narrow openings that are each just big enough for one man to crouch and scramble through.
Then it has to be reassembled and fired three times before being taken back down and carried via the same obstacles back to the start line.
The only extra equipment allowed are two spars and a wire to make a sheerlegs crane to get over the chasm.
The average time for the entire run was around two mins 30 secs.
Nowadays it has been revived as a game for kids, so is not the same thing at all.
A traditional Field Gunner is therefore a hard-assed motherfucker who never thinks about injuries and pain, and a true son of a gun who you would love to have on your side in any confrontational situation, and who will have a good laugh about it with you afterwards in the wreckage of your wannabe assailants.

I'd fuck her at the drop of a hat. But her brother is a Field Gunner so I'll ask him if I can date her first.
Cheerful Charlie: Fuck, man, you've got no fingers or thumb on your right hand! Are you a Field Gunner?
Bollocky Bill: Yeah. But I've still got a complete set left.

An accessory to the more commonly known "wing man," the rear gunner's job is to provide even more assistance to the lead and the wing men. The rear gunner's job is to hurl insults and other harmful comments about the physical traits or mental insecurities of anyone and everyone that tries to approach either of his buddies. The rear gunner is a necessity for serious pick up situations, a job to be entrusted to a true friend and serious shit talker.
"Yo bro isn't that Stephanie your ex girlfriend?"
"Oh shit ya, Tony will handle it, he's the rear gunner tonight."

Counterpart to the universally known and widely despised gunner .
Within the students kingdom, phylum medical students , and species gunner there is the subspecies known as the Ethical Gunner. This person has many of the typical behaviors of the gunner such as being an over achiever , constantly going balls to the walls and to some degree being a know it all .
However, the Ethical Gunner is open to helping out their lower achieving classmates in a non- derogatory ways, and generally be helpful . This is often due to them being raised in team centric environments such as high school sports or the military where being a self-centered dick is met with harsh and overwhelming criticism. Because of this, they would be just as happy getting an assist as scoring a point when playing basketball.
Key differences from the gunner include they do not try to fuck over anyone within ear shot and lack a personality disorder

Student 1: "I just got done reviewing the entire semester with Olivia, she is such a fucking gunner . She knows everything in class, published three papers, and volunteers 80 hours a week; when does she sleep?"
Student 2: "Soooo if she's also fitting in time to help you for free and has tons of other shit to do, you should probably qualify that with ethical gunner "

Unlike your typical hyper-competitive gunner, a California Gunner is an individual that attempts to gain an advantage over fellow classmates by joining numerous clubs/extracurriculars and brownnose the faculty responsible for their future recommendations (rather than putting in the effort to let their academic performance show).
A California Gunner is just as competitive as a regular gunner, but they are perceived as chill or laidback.

"Why is he always going to the admins office?"
-"He goes every morning to schmooze, like your classic California Gunner."

A guy that is the definition of perfect. He's super sweet, caring, and extremely fun to talk to. He has the most amazing smile and eyes that you can get lost while looking at them. Any guy in the world would be really lucky to be with him. He's simply perfect in every way a guy can be.
He is such a Gunner Taillon
