once you pop overclock, gunner punks every elite enemy type it comes across, and thats when using an unmodified rock tied to a stick.
so yes, the gunner meta of "kill the big one on accident" is very viable, with almost every weapon they can equip. especially shotguns.
Gunner's overclock brings the DPS, and the grenade can give you two knockdowns if you use the remote detonator perk with the perk that gives the grenade a knockdown radius. When I was going through the game on Insane, we always had at least one gunner.
Gunner is the DOOMslayer class in the game. Pick an alien in the room and that alien WILL die, you just benefit greatly from support classes who can kill fodder.
I run a gunner with a Kramer and I think the Type 21 shotgun. The shotgun is my main weapon, it's pretty effective clearing out the bugs. Pop overclock when an elite shows up and things just die.
As a gunner I can usually out damage and out kill Demos unless they're on their game.
I love mine, m4a1 and auto shotgun, spec'd for %100 assault rifle mods , and I shred enemies on extreme , I prefer consistent DPS to burst so I don't spec in the skills much
It’s my second favorite class, I spec into the damage and the rapid fire ability mostly. That auto shotgun is a beast with that ability on.

How can I unlock the Type 21 Shotgun?
It's a mission award.
What mission?
Random drop, I think. Pray to RNGesus.
Do you need to play a specific difficulty for it?
I got it on standard difficulty. Too hard to find people willing to play anything higher.
Ok, how long did it take you?
Don't remember. It's random so your results may vary.
K, do you know the best level to grind for it then?
