... if you really have your heart set on playing a character with a gun, I definitely wouldn't let the lack of funding/etc. deter you from starting one. All classes (unless you're a 4114 pure AP power/charm type), go through 40-50 lvls of suck to start out with. If you're like me, the fact that you have a character with a *gun!* might make the suck-age a little bit more bearable. xD Besides, no matter what character you end up choosing, we'll all be around to help as much as we can (we like helping!). So choose the character you think you'll enjoy the most. You can always start another one if it doesn't turn out the way you want it to be. ^^
That being said, if you do decide to go for a gunner lion, I would seriously consider staying away from a 4141 build. It's actually only popular with players who have already had experience playing with a gunner Lion/another character, and most of them would probably not recommend it for a first time player. Without a shield (you can't equip a gun and a shield at the same time) that 1 in Charm will really, *really* hurt... and since all your bonus points should be going into AC(the only Power stat a gunner needs), you shouldn't have a problem with power growth even with a 2 or 1 in Power. I have a 1144 gunner lion and have absolutely no problems killing things. It's also much easier to compound more AC into your equips than more HP, DP, and HV (the three Charm stats). :3
