I see where you are going with this, but honestly they already had guns in there, and they kinda already looked like the one I see in that pic... Namely, I sorta remember dodging a lot of gatling gun fire... Besides, what's wrong with guns in a kid friendly game that has constant destruction anyway? Does it really matter what the mechanism of the destruction is? I mean, so long as they don't actually show blood and gore when he shoots up... well he's shooting robots... then I don't see a problem. Didn't that one robot character in the first Sonic Adventure have a gun in the same style? I mean, it shot lasers instead of bullets, but it was the same art style.
In case you wonder exactly what I mean about that, remember Who Framed Roger Rabbit? That put REAL guns into the cartoon's hands, and they shot at actual humans. Heck, the whole premise was that a cartoon was being framed for a gang land murder. And um, Judge, the main villian? He was actually pretty freakin' scary in toon form, despite the very cartoony golden saws and anvils he had...
Basically what I'm saying is, I've been there OB1, but honestly I"m pretty sure that adding a gun, in and of itself, isn't a.. well it's not a bad idea for that reason anyway. The question is, is it just to look cool or do they plan on really making an innovative game experience? Second off, why can't Shadow just gain some new super hero ability to fire like, I dunno, spikes from his back? My main problem is giving Shadow a gun is like giving Super Man a gun.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
