The best gun is donderbus/ +1. This weapon is crafted using delve mega boss drop and scarletite ingot, what mean it will always be expensive, as this ingot isnt reducing its price like the mega boss drops, that are steadly falling.
This weapon is a lv119 one, and its a solution SE used to allow all jobs to have an hier lv weapon even with adoulin not totally released. So, for the weapons that dont drop from mega boss, a recipt was implemented. Most likely in next delves (marjami, yorcia) some mega boss should drop a gun. As we dont have the crafted and a direct drop weapon to compare, my guess that both will be the same in terms of strenght.
Bellow lv119, there will be implemented a gun lv116, most likely dropped from a naakual when a new area is released. That weapon is suppose to be stronger than even augmented guns lv113.
Guns lv 113 are the surefire and hgafircian +1. The difference about them is the path you want to choose: the lucky path or the money/plasm path. To fully augment a surefire, a nm t5 drop, you will need 600k plasm or almost 5m gil to buy the airlixir +2 and upgrade it in a chosen path. Hgafircian is easier to obtain (require do skirmish rala for base weapon, and yorcia skirmish for ki- given upon win- to upgrade it). Both versions not augmented are similar, and the skirmish one just will be stronger than surefire of youre lucky with your stones+2. Doing this path is easier as it require a little lucky to get simulacrums and good augmented, but can be expensive if you decide to buy the parts and stones, as the new skirmish was released just now, and parts price jumped from 10k to 100k. Good parts will cost 1m now, so waiting till prices settle down is smart, or just farm your own part.
Fnally the lv106 weapons, the bayld and skirmish 1 weapons, easily obtained but too weak compared to the previous. Still, will beat most of ah option.
So your choose about weapon will depend more on your gil. If you have a lot, buy donderbus, it wont be replaced in next updates. If you dont have access to plasm farming or dont have ki from nms, go to hagarfician +1, its a low man content, and a easy one. If you have both and some cash, go for surefire and choose your path by using airlixir. This is the safe path, no random related. But both will be replaced as you progress in adoulin, most like when the new wildeskeeper reive is released.
