  I like that the Gunners will warn you sometimes but in practice they are still way too aggressive. It doesn&apos;t make any sense for a mercenary organization to want to kill anyone who happens to pass by, especially if that person is the Sole Survivor in a suit of power armour with a gatling laser, and 4 followers, also in power armour. <br><br>At a certain point you would think that they would leave you alone. <br>&quot;Oi Bruv, isn&apos;t that the General of the Minutemen who also works for the Brotherhood of Steel and used a giant death robot to destroy the Institute? Let&apos;s fucking shoot at him.&quot;

  Who would win: a entire organized force of gunners with power armor and high-tech weaponry or one shooty boi in a blue jumpsuit

  I feel like the minuteman story should&apos;ve at some point had a focus on defeating the gunners

  &quot;Gunners respect boundaries&quot;. Say that to Bridget often killing us in Finch Farm with a Fatman all the way from Hub City Auto Wreckers

  I actually found a scene where a brotherhood vertibird landed and then it was hijacked by the gunners. There was brotherhood corpse right next to the vertibird.

  If I had to guess, I would say that the Gunner mercs were established by another remnant of the U.S. military. Just like the founding of the Brotherhood of Steel, I think that a splinter faction of the Military broke away after October 23 and tried to rebuild their organization only to fall into mercenary work just to survive. It&apos;s possible that they at first were just trying to get by and after several generations forgot about their past, becoming the callous mercenary group we now see.

  What I hate most about the Gunners are their Assaultrons.

  <b>&quot;Feelings?</b> Look mate, you know who has a lot of <b>feelings?</b> Folks that bludgeon their companions to death with a 2076 World Series Swatter. Professionals have <i>STANDARDS.</i> Warn people when getting too close to your bases, respect the chain of command, and ALWAYS have a plan to run at people with a security baton in the middle of combat.&quot;- an average Gunner on the nature of his job, 2287.

  I was extremely confused when I first started playing Fallout 4 and noticed the Gunners were not only attacking you on sight, but also had killed most of the Minutemen at Quincy.<br><br>Took me a long while to figure out that the faction I was remembering is called &quot;The Gun Runners&quot; and not &quot;The Gunners&quot;

  Ox, I love you man, but you missed the same thing everybody misses, the Tournquist family.<br><br>Bonnie Tournquist was at the Mass Bay Medical Center when the bombs dropped. &nbsp;The Med Center survived the blast, but when members of the army found it, they took it over, forcing the medical staff to prioritize them over others. &nbsp;With their weapons, armor, and established hierarchy, soldiers like this all over the Wasteland were better off than your average survivor. &nbsp;<br><br>In short, what happened at Mass Bay happened all over the place, and before long these disparate groups got together and organized into a mercenary organization. &nbsp;Cut off from the higher ranks (like the Commander in Chief) much of the U.S. Military became Gunners. &nbsp;In many ways, the Gunners and the Brotherhood have the same origin story, both the descendants of military survivors.
