Base Class: Fighter
You have mastered the art of using a gun in close quarters and are able to use your gun(s) in ways that others could not, you have grown accustom to using shotguns and pistols in tight spaces. Close Quarter Combatant experts prefer to be at the front line of combat, dealing damage and taking hits in place of other teammates.
Heavy Blow
Starting at 3rd level, you are able to use your gun in more ways than to just shoot someone, you can use your gun as a melee weapon if a target is within 5ft of you dealing 1d6(Pistol) or 1d10(Shotgun) + (your strength modifier) bludgeoning damage to one target. This ability is used as a bonus action.
Open Sesame
Starting at 3rd level, you are able to break locks with a gunshot causing anyone within a 5ft area to make a DC 10 Dexterity save, on a fail the target takes 1d4 piercing damage and on a save the target takes no damage. Additionally you are also able to make large openings with shotgun fire (ask GM before doing this) upon weak surfaces such as wood or thin metals and deal half damage to any creatures that are directly opposite it, if you use this against any cover it is destroyed.
CQC Expertise
Starting at 6th level, you no longer suffer from disadvantage form any weapon attacks made with guns at melee range.
Cunning Action
Starting at 11th level, you can take an extra bonus action on each of your turns in combat. This action can only be used to take the Dash, Disengage, or Hide action.
Heavy Armour Mastery
Starting at 15th level, you gain resistance to Bludgeoning, Piercing, and Slashing damage from non-magical weapons as long as you’re wearing heavy armour.
Riot Shield
Starting at 18th level, you gain proficiency with Shields and you can mount a small shield onto two handed firearms giving you +1 to AC, this counts as carrying one for the purpose of qualifying for feats and you gain the appropriate AC bonus from it. You cannot be unwillingly disarmed from the shield.

Posted Feb 2, 2019Solaris, since your post was made as reply to me it seems you're telling me something happened and this something should cause me to eat my hat. Can you clarify, please, because I have no idea what you're referring to.

I DID NOT KNOW THAT WAS A THING. It doesn't show up in the lists??
How do you read up on it other than selecting it at third level?
Edit: It's here! https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/classes/gunslinger
In that case, carry on! Enjoy your gunslinger class

Posted May 21, 2018I figured they would add it since I think Mercer has a stake in curse. They'd just let you buy it separately here.Either way, you can buy it from him on the DMsguild site and then import it yourself for use as long as you don't make it public I believehttp://www.dmsguild.com/product/170778/Gunslinger-Martial-Archetype-for-FightersEdit: CR gunslinger is available at level 3 in the character creator for fighter!

Posted May 11, 2018Likely there's just some delay. There was evidently some confusion as to the exact moment that it goes live.
