A person (usually a medical or law school student) who uses over 3 different colored highlighters, tabs every page in their notebook, and raises their hand after every question asked by their professor, regardless of if they know the correct answer or not. Gunners like to hear themselves speak. They use complicated words to make themselves sound smart even though they have no idea what's going on in class- they pretend they do. They are trying to intimidate you and eliminate competiton.
This gunner in my Chemistry class answers every question the professor asks, asked 5 questions during a 1hr class, and uses 8 different colored highlighters.

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.
Gunner: *Gives correct answer no one else knew*
Average college student: "Of course he/she knew the answer, he/she is such a 'Gunner'!"

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.
