What's satisfying is using explosive shots on a bowgun and dodging the monster as it dives head first into your proximity bombs at juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust the right moment. "Hey guys, I made diablos horns!"
Also the only way minigun mode on HBGs could feel better is if they gave your character a cigar while your shooting.
Will warn you, bowguns get really, really fiddly with optimization for recoil/reload/range and your dodge game has to be on point.
I also enjoy spinning to win with hammers.
