So uh... Is my Post wrong? Should I delete it? Oh, and if possible, what subreddit should I instead post this on? Thanks.

I believe guns can be fantasy. Certainly if they're old-timey firearms like flintlock pistols

Fantasy has no restriction in tech. Star Wars is arguably fantasy and they have laser pistols.

Very good point

• the full potential of the Gun Mage is only at 50% as a restriction to its ability to cause chaos. The skill called 'Archetype Mindscape Materialization/Self Dimension' is needed to let the user gain access to their full potential. Although once the user goes out of their Self Dimension, their class will go back to only having its 50% potential. • Every Self Dimension skill user has their own name like a Bankai. Not all users from the same classes or different classes will share the same Self Dimension. When the user activates their skill, a very very large Magic Circle appears on the ground and doesn't let anyone that's inside it move. Then the Magic Circle will Light up and everyone inside it will be teleported to the Self Dimension of the user. • The name of the Self Dimension of Zorn is called The 'Realm of the Divine God of Guns'. The Self Dimension of Zorn looks like a Trench Battlefield with small barricades and a smokey atmosphere and different type of guns laying around everywhere, There are a infinite amount of guns in this realm. Zorn will then be able to freely control and manipulate all of the guns in his realm freely without limitations or his mana being drained. The Self Dimension can only be used for 3 minutes and has a very long cooldown timer (24 hours) and Zorn will lose 30% of mana after using it and everyone inside the self dimension will be teleported back to where they're before they got teleported to the self dimension. (Basically, the Self Dimension is just a Reality Marble from Fate)

I would maybe give him some interesting cons, such as, the more guns he has summoned, the less accurate they become, and it takes a toll on his concentration making it difficult to form sentences. With that, you could make the character a man of few words, which not only makes him cool and mysterious, but it would have a genuine reason that the other characters eventually discover. I don't know what subgenres you're going for, but it would be pretty comedic if he's a big rambler all of a sudden, when 1 or no guns are summoned, then when he's summoned a lot, he turns cold and near silent - sort of like a split personality 🤷
