Gunners are individuals who operate artillery or large-caliber firearms, typically in military settings. Their primary role is to aim and fire weapons such as cannons, howitzers, and mortars, providing support during combat operations.

In addition to traditional military roles, the term "gunner" can also refer to positions in various sports, such as soccer, where a player is known for their shooting ability. The term is also associated with the Arsenal Football Club, whose nickname is "The Gunners."
