Gun's don't usually work for a low quality mike due to a HUGE amount of overrun and volume level, you Basically end up with fuzz. an easy alternative is finding some wood, clavs or taking the snare off a drum, run it through an amp and depending on the type of gun take up the echo and reverb and you should have a gun type sound. Besides it takes someone who spends their lives around guns to tell the difference between two guns who both fire one shot and are roughly the same calliber. Some sounds you have to get from nature, I have yet to create a realistic cricket or horse just from my sfx creation stuff I have.
