In Canada and the United States, a "gunner" is slang for a hyper-competitive student, usually a medical, nursing, legal, or dental. Gunners will do whatever it takes to be the best. This ranges from working very hard to sabotaging peers. The gunners are normally either concerned with getting into a professional school or excelling in the professional school to continue on to a specialty.
The top student in your class, anyone sitting in the front row, anyone who uses a three colored pen in university/college.

A Gunner is usually a very competitive person. Most uses are in the context of a highly competitive and sabotaging medical student.
For example, a medical student who claims he doesn't study and wants a non-competitive speciality like internal medicine while he is preparing for plastic surgery.
Basically, someone working hard in the background.
