Combining swordplay and sorcery is a viable strategy in your Standard Fantasy Setting, but perhaps this magic wielding character prefers to engage enemies at a distance to use their Improbable Aiming Skills. Or perhaps this character lives in a setting where Fantasy Gun Control isn't in effect and swords are obsolete. Enter the Mage Marksman.

Every bow-wielding playable character in Genshin Impact is this, as their Visions allow them to channel their respective elemental magic through their arrows and apply it with each shot. Likewise, Hilichurl Shooters are naturally capable of using the elements of Pyro, Cryo, and Electro and applying them with shots fired from their crossbows.

Mami Tomoe from Puella Magi Madoka Magica uses her magic powers to conjure single-shot muskets, bombards and cannons out of thin air. Sometimes in massive amounts, only to have them fire a shot each and disappear. Homura Akemi has time-control powers but her lack of offensive ability has her resort to using ordinary firearms in combat. This has massive synergy with the fact that her magical shield can store an entire Hyperspace Arsenal, and her time stop powers allow her to abuse said arsenal with impunity. At one point she froze time, then fired an entire army base worth of weaponry at an Eldritch Abomination. She and Mami battled it out with all of their magical power and Gun Fu skills during the movie Rebellion. And it was awesome.

The early Might and Magic like II, III, and IV had the Archer class. Besides being good with bows and crossbows, they also could equip medium armors, some weapons, and got arcane magic spells. It shows up in later games, too — VI and VII had the Archer class in more-or-less the same, allowing for game-mechanics, way as the early games (with the mage part made rather explicit by fact that in both games one of the class promotion ranks was Warrior Mage), VIII had the Dark Elf race/class which was the same plus some special tricks.

The player character in Destiny has been blessed with the ability to use supernatural powers in a Space Opera setting. As such, everyone is expected to be equipped with some manner of high tech firearm. This is most notable in the Hunter Gunslinger subclass and any Warlock subclass.
Two factions, the Hive and the Reef, make extensive use of rituals and magic. They also outfit their soldiers with guns.

Fire Emblem
In Fire Emblem Fates the Priestess class can use both bows and healing staffs and promotes from the basic healer class of Shrine Maiden. It's female-only, though — men get the Monk Class which uses spears instead of bows. The Adventurer also wields bows and staffs, and unlike the Priestess can be accessed by either gender.
In Fire Emblem: Three Houses, while no class specializes in both bows and magic, any class can equip any physical weapon and magic has limited uses so bringing a backup weapon can be useful. Of the game's mages, Hubert of the Black Eagles, Mercedes of the Blue Lions and Professor Hanneman have strengths in using bows. Their Strength stats are still lackluster, but the Magic Bow, which deals damage based on the user's Magic stat instead, can be quite potent in their hands. Mercedes and Hanneman even have special bows available to them late in the game that synergize with their Crests. The Downloadable Content character Yuri is also skilled in magic and can develop a budding talent in archery, although he's a swordsman first and foremost. Of the archers, Felix and Ignatz are both skilled bowmen who can also develop magic skills as a budding talent.

In the world of The Saga of Tanya the Evil, there are soldiers who are also adept at magic, and weave magical spells together with their marksmanship, allowing them to fire bullets with the explosive power of artillery shells. Tanya Degurechaff, in particular, is such a dangerous markswoman that she's capable of using a spell that lets her fire a Fantastic Nuke from her rifle.

The Grimnoir Chronicles by Larry Correia is full of these. The story takes place in an alternate reality of the 1930s where a small but significant portion of the human population has magical abilities. Though the main characters are all powerful mages, they also train with and routinely use conventional weapons including firearms extensively.

Shin Megami Tensei:
The protagonists of Digital Devil Saga typically do battle by Voluntary Shapeshifting into magic-wielding demons, but they're all competent in the use of firearms when in human-form.
In Persona, some Persona-users supplement their magic abilities with a firearm of some kind:
In the first Persona and Persona 5, your party members can use firearms in addition to their Persona abilities (and melee weapons), with Maki Sonomura from 1 being a rare double example who wields both a pistol and a bow. In Persona 5, the guns themselves are sort of magical; they're basically airsoft replicas in the real world, but the Metaverse gives them lethal power thanks to Clap Your Hands If You Believe.
Persona 2: Maya Amano has dual pistols, Eikichi Mishina carries a machine gun disguised as a guitar case, and Katsuya Suou has a handgun.
Persona 3: Antagonist Takaya Sakaki carries a revolver.
Persona 4: Private detective Naoto Shirogane favors pistols, while the murderer has his police-issued handgun.

Stand Still, Stay Silent: With the setting being more of an After the End world that got a The Magic Comes Back episode, guns are still around. Among the mages seen in the story, Lalli always has a rifle with him while scouting, and is actually seen using it on-panel in Chapter 13. Since the Power-Strain Blackout exists in this setting, it's also most likely best to avoid using magic when a well-used weapon will have the same end result.

She is never seen reloading them and gets a few occasions to show that they can be fired multiple times without reload such as her first major fight with Mana.

In The Dresden Files
Harry routinely uses guns in combination with his magical tools, as does most everyone in the supernatural community. For human wizards there is a practical element to it, as The Laws of Magic include a death penalty for any human who kills another human with magic, regardless of the situation (partially because it has a corrupting effect on the perpetrator). Of course there's also a certain practicality to it. Not every wizard or supernatural being has significant offensive magical abilities, and firearms are one of the most generally effective weapons against a wide range of supernatural threats. In Cold Days Harry combines the two and infuses a bullet in his rifle with Soulfire, the Fires of Creation itself, so the attack would have enough power to destroy the body of He Who Walks Before, a dangerous creature from Outside reality.
Wild Bill Meyers, one of Harry's fellow wardens, uses a lever action Winchester rifle, which is also enchanted to act as his Wizard Staff.

In the Dark Forces Saga:
Kyle Katarn develops abilities in the Force as the series progresses, yet his arsenal of blasters and bazookas and grenades and what-have-you always remain within arms' reach. His apprentices Mara Jade and Jaden Korr follow suit.
In the first level of Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, your ally Rosh is equipped with a blaster pistol and has some rudimentary Force abilities.

Elden Ring: Player builds aside, there's multiple enemies who fit the bill.
Starscourge Radahn fights from a distance with a greatbow and arrows enchanted with gravity magic to hit harder. Close the distance, and he switches to dual-wielding enchanted greatswords. The Spirit Ash Redmane Knight Ogha also uses gravity-enchanted arrows, as he studied gravity magic alongside Radahn.
Royal Knight Loretta's signature spells, Loretta's Greatbow and Loretta's Mastery, involve conjuring a bow made of magic and firing charged arrows at the target.

The Ripple System: Frank leads Ned to the Enchanted Firearms skill, which allows him to advance his class into the Shadeslinger, which casts spells through guns and uses Ned's two primary attributes. Partly because Frank felt bad for giving Ned a deliberately Glass Cannon class without telling him, and also because Frank just likes guns better than normal spells.

In Final Fantasy VII and its spin offs has Vincent Valentine who is a Squishy Wizard style character who wields various firearms as his basic attacks. In his Spin-Off title the Dirge of Cerberus he can even fire magic bullets by equipping different materia to his gun. The game also features Arm Cannon wielding Scary Black Man Barret Wallace, who can use the same Materia as everyone else but his strengths lie elsewhere.

In World of Warcraft, the hunter class has many arrows with special effects. Most of them are Trick Arrows, but some, such as Arcane Shot and Black Arrow, are undeniably magic. In addition, most of their special shots do some form of magic damage. Also, since hunters can use both guns and (cross)bows, they could also fit the Magic Gunman type.

Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia introduces Albus, a member of the eponymous Order. The Order uses Glyphs, special symbols imbued with magic, to fight monsters. While the protagonist, Shanoa, can use Glyphs by imprinting them on her skin (easily accessible through the power of a Sexy Backless Outfit), she's the only known human that can do this. Albus instead uses Glyphs by channeling them with a magic flintlock that shoots out spells and bullets imbued with magic.

The Inquisitor mastery has the ability to dual-wield pistols and an arsenal of magic artifacts and devices, while the Demolitionist uses a variety of explosives enhanced by pyromancy. The dual-classing system allows either mastery to be combined with another class or even used together (referred to as a Purifier).

Played with in Knights of the Old Republic. Most blasters aren't as powerful as lightsabers or the top-end vibroblades, but an upgraded blaster mixed with Force powers (either as buffs or as outright attacks) is still an effective way to take down Jedi and Sith enemies who have to close in to use their weapons. It's even more viable in the second game, given how many of Exile's crew (who have backgrounds as soldiers already) can be cross-classed.

Breath of Fire:
The first two games feature this character type, before switching over to Magic Gunman:
The original game has Bo, who fights with (you guessed it) a bow, and knows some low- and mid-level attack spells. However, he's a borderline example, since his spells will typically fall out of use before too long (thanks to his Wisdom and AP stats, both of which start low and have terrible growth rates).
Breath of Fire II has Bow (not to be confused with Bo above), who fights with a crossbow and is by far the best healing-magic user on the team.

In the first Persona and Persona 5, your party members can use firearms in addition to their Persona abilities (and melee weapons), with Maki Sonomura from 1 being a rare double example who wields both a pistol and a bow. In Persona 5, the guns themselves are sort of magical; they're basically airsoft replicas in the real world, but the Metaverse gives them lethal power thanks to Clap Your Hands If You Believe.

Warmachine of Iron Kingdoms has many examples.
Cygnaran Gun Mages cast spells through their magelock pistols. This frequently takes the form of creating Depleted Phlebotinum Shells by casting their spells on the bullet itself.
All Warcasters are accomplished mages, and many carry a gun of some kind with a Hand Cannon being the most common sidearm. They can spend Focus to improve accuracy or damage, and some have spells or abilities which improve their ranged attacks. A few Warlocks have firearms as well.
Allister Caine takes it up to 11 by being both a Gun Mage and a Warcaster, dual wielding magelock pistols. Kara Sloane is a Friendly Sniper Warcaster.
Characters in the Iron Kingdoms RPG can take Gun Mage as a career.

In Warframe, while all the Frames wield what is essentially space magic and can use guns, Mesa and Harrow's void powers supplement their gunplay. Mesa has the ability to store up damage with each hit and later release it all at once on a single enemy and has the ability "Shooting Gallery" that causes the weapons of nearby enemies to mysteriously jam and prevent them from shooting back. Harrow takes it much further in that his abilities support the team through heals and buffs based on how much damage he does, with headshots resulting in much bigger buffs, and his first ability not only freezes enemies in place but forces them into poses that make headshots even easier to attain.

Night Watch (Series) plays with this. On the one hand, simple defensive spells keep even low level Others from having to worry about bullets. But on the other one of the main reasons for The Masquerade is that equally simple spells make guns effective again, and a single Other can drag dozens of mortals into the fight with them. This fear is realized in The Last Watch, to terrifying effect.

They attack with long-ranged magic attacks amplified and honed by their crystals befitting the Arcane Archer. Their Battle Mode 3 allows them to transform into a Magic Gunman for a limited time and attacking two monsters in different directions at the cost of unable to use some of their skills.
Force Gunners, which is another branch of the Archer Class, are Magic Gunmen who also use their magic to summon guns and mechas to attack enemies.

Dungeons & Dragons:
Any spellcasting character proficient in archery would qualify. In 3.X Edition (and Pathfinder) a ranger with the archery Combat Style is a particular example, gaining archery-improving feats and a handful of nature- and hunting-related spells.
The arcane archer prestige class combines both archery and spellcasting into one class, with the signature ability of imbuing area spells into arrows to deliver them from great distances.
There is also the marksman, a psionic class that specializes in ranged attacks. The specialization includes options for enhancing either crossbow or bow attacks.
4th edition has the Seeker, the Primal power source equivalent to the Ranger class. Their bows fire missiles made of primal magic. There's also the Euphonic Bow paragon path for Bards, which is all about using their magic songs to enhance their marksmanship (and vice-versa).
5th edition characters can pick up the Magic Initiate feat to add spellcasting to their repertoire. It also includes the Arcane Archer Martial Archetype for Fighters, which imbues its arrows (but not crossbows or thrown weapons) with an effect inspired by one of the schools of magic and can magically guide missed shots to new targets.

However, he's a borderline example, since his spells will typically fall out of use before too long (thanks to his Wisdom and AP stats, both of which start low and have terrible growth rates).

In the Borderlands series, whose combat is almost entirely gun-based, the Sirens are women with various psionic abilities. Lilith can transit another dimension, Maya can temporarily trap a foe inside it while Amara's powers are more direct and fist-focused.
In Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, every character class can use spells alongside guns, but the Spellshot class can combine the two much more efficiently. They can even replace their action skill with another spell (which are effectively the game's replacement for grenades), letting them dual-wield.

The Legend of Zelda:
Princess Zelda is always something of a sorceress and on many occasions will take up arms with a bow and arrow mostly to fire the Light Arrows.

Revali is a Rito archer who also has wind-based magic that allows him to rise up in the air rapidly.
Yiga archers use their teleportation in conjunction with their bows to stay just out of Link's reach and snipe him.

Mass Effect's biotics invariably enter combat armed with some form of gun in addition to their powers, though most prioritize their powers. Thane stands out as a biotic sniper, while Samara combines powerful biotics with a machine gun. Jack also has the ability to modify her ammunition to have the biotic warp ability when fired - It is essentially like firing warp attacks from your gun. Liara later learns the same trick.

In The Powder Mage Trilogy, this is the principle ability of the titular Powder Mages. As the name suggests, their powers come directly from gunpowder, including the ability to ingest it to get stronger and faster, spontaneously combust it within a certain range, or (arguably most importantly) use it to fire bullets accurately at impossible ranges. This makes them one of the only effective combat counters to the Privileged, whose sorcery is more traditional and far more destructive. The fact that a Powdermage can feasibly hit a Privileged in the head from well over a mile away is pretty much the only thing keeping the latter in check during most of the wars in the series.

Lucian, the Purifier darts across the battlefield with two dual pistols, Senna, the Redeemer combines innate magical power over souls and the Black Mist with her giant relic cannon, Akshan, the Rogue Sentinel uses a dual-purpose light-blasting Grappling-Hook Pistol, and several other champions temporarily appointed to Sentinel status during the Ruination get specialized relic counterparts to their usual weapons (such as Graves and his shotgun, or Vayne and her Automatic Crossbows).

Most of the archers in Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, most notably Fina (the main party's White Mage) are capable spellcasters as well, and most of the most powerful bows in the game do more for improving Spirit (the stat that most white magic runs off of) than Attack. There's even an armor that buffs Spirit for bow users to encourage such a build. In several cases, similar to Hope above, black mages are also quite capable with thrown weapons, and many thrown weapons do more to improve the Magic stat than Attack.

While her default weapon is a staff due to her magic specialization, equipping Flonne from Disgaea: Hour of Darkness with a bow in order to get around the No Experience Points for Medic situation in the game is a viable strategy since those are her second-best weapon skills at Rank A (the weapon affinity system goes S-A-B-C-D-E). Finding and equipping a magic bow that boosts magic-related stats makes it even better.

In The Elder Scrolls series, this is a very viable build. The most popular form is the "Witch Hunter" build which combines boosts to Marksmanship with Conjuration, Alchemy, and Enchanting. Summon an ethereal "Bound Bow", summon a couple of meat-shield mooks, and use poisoned arrows to strike down foes quickly. Alternatively, enchant a standard bow for extra magical damage. The "Nightblade" build boots Marksmanship and Illusion, allowing you to turn invisible to sneak up on foes for critical hits or to safely retreat to a safe distance once the fighting has begun. (Skyrim does away with the pre-made classes, but you can still create this build by developing the same skills and investing in the right perks.)

Lobotomy Corporation and Library of Ruina have the Abnormality based on the story of Der Freischütz, as well as the E.G.O. equipment manufactured from Der Freischütz, aptly named Magic Bullet. As a reference to how the bullets will never miss their mark, they travel through a portal and pierce through everything in their path. In the former game, this can potentially cause Unfriendly Fire if you're not careful.

Kiritsugu Emiya from Fate/Zero is a ruthlessly pragmatic low-level "magic user" (as opposed to an authentic "magus"), who only sees magic as another tool to complement his weapon arsenal. The ultimate symbol of this is his "Mystic Code" (The equivalent of a magic wand in the Nasuverse): A Thompson Contender with enchanted rifle shells filled with two of his powdered ribs. The strength of the shell means that it will punch through almost anything short of dedicated armor that most people won't have on hand, but if the target uses magic to defend himself, the bullet enchantment will react to the spell and cause the mage to explode from the inside out.

Final Fantasy:
The series features more than a few archers who also specialize in magical attacks as well.
Maria, a Lady of Black Magic in Final Fantasy II also specializes in wielding a bows by default. The original NES Version however has Bow type weapons reduce magical power.
Rosa who is one of the Trope Codifiers of the White Magician Girl in Final Fantasy IV can also wield a bow and arrow and has a specialized Always Accurate Attack to take advantage of an otherwise low accuracy weapon.
Serah who doubles with Magic Knight due to Bow and Sword in Accord in Final Fantasy XIII-2.
Trey from Final Fantasy Type-0, who follows The Straight and Arrow Path while attending a Magical Military Academy.
Phoebe from Final Fantasy Mystic Quest who was an archer and The Red Mage.
Hope of Final Fantasy XIII does a thrown weapon variant of this - his strongest roles are the three magic-oriented roles (Ravager, Medic, Saboteur), and his weapons are all boomerangs.
In Final Fantasy XIV, the archers of the Gridanian Archers' Guild learn to enchant their arrows with poison and wind magic to inflict Damage Over Time to their foes. Bards learn additional magical arrow skills like "Refulgent Arrow", in which they fire off a barrage of eight arrows of light in addition to their physical arrow that all converge on the same target.
Most of the archers in Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, most notably Fina (the main party's White Mage) are capable spellcasters as well, and most of the most powerful bows in the game do more for improving Spirit (the stat that most white magic runs off of) than Attack. There's even an armor that buffs Spirit for bow users to encourage such a build. In several cases, similar to Hope above, black mages are also quite capable with thrown weapons, and many thrown weapons do more to improve the Magic stat than Attack.

Dragon's Dogma has the Magick Archer class, a Mage/Strider hybrid class who uses Magick Bows to fire magical shots with homing properties. Some of it's techniques involve bolts of ice magic capable of Roboteching in on enemies, lightning shots that bounce all around the walls and fire shots that act as a time-delayed bomb.

Psychic powers ("Stands") are all over the place in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, so inevitably a few users wind up being gunslingers. Hol Horse and Guido Mista both have Stands that allow them to redirect their bullets mid-flight, and in Steel Ball Run arc (set in the Wild West), most people there are already gunslingers who now have to factor super powers into their gun fights.

Hubert Oswell from Tales of Graces has a Bifurcated Weapon, one of the modes of which is dual pistols. All of his magic is used exclusively in this mode, and he fires some of his offensive spells out of his guns. Amusingly, he always changes his weapon in this form for any spell, and then immediately connects them back.

In Bayonetta, the Umbra Witches fight with a combination of guns and black magic, either to augment their physical abilities or to summon up demons or torture devices to execute their enemies. Such is their skill with both guns and magic that they are quite capable of quadruple wielding any gun, their witch powers being used to fire the ones mounted on their feet.

Deryni series: After Conall loses to Dhugal in an informal archery contest early in The King's Justice, Kelson explains to Dhugal why it wouldn't have been fair for him to have joined the competition, and he shoots an arrow "precisely in the center of the target." Then he demonstrates how he can use his Deryni powers to enhance his archery skills, shooting a second arrow exactly alongside the length of his first. Dhugal is suitably astonished when Alaric Morgan does likewise at Kelson's request (without looking at the target while he shoots); the result is four arrow shafts in a tight square in the target. The scene foreshadows their parts in the rescue of Duncan from Loris and Sicard; Kelson and Morgan use their powers to deflect the arrows of Loris' archers as they shoot at the captive Duncan.

Later, he takes the Magic Initiate feat (warlock), which allows him to cast the spells Hex, Minor Illusion, and Friends. Later the group meets Dr. Ripley who is a wizard-gunslinger multiclasser, who uses illusions and blink, to disorient her opponents.

Most pyskers in Warhammer 40,000 prefer to fight at long range, though using their powers to assist their shots is more of an RPG occurence (Dark Heresy, etc.).
Taken to extremes with the fanmade Imperial Guard unit, the 1st Membranes, who are almost all psykers, resulting in an entire army of these.

Shadowrun
Mages can cast spells, but smart ones will keep a firearm handy as well. Not only is a decent semi-auto or automatic a relatively low investment in terms of skill points and nuyen, but guns have no Drain and people can't tell you're a mage as easily if you use a gun to attack.
Gunslinger Adepts can use their magic powers to enhance their ranged combat skills, becoming something like Gunkata embracers, with a mix of gymnastics and dual-wielding pistols as their signature combat style.

This results in him having an uncanny ability to hit things using throwing daggers. He may miss his target, but they still always hit something.

Draconis Memoria: Given the setting’s technology, magical powers alone no longer cut it on the battlefield, as a well-aimed bullet is just as deadly as (and cheaper than) a blast of fire or force.

League of Legends has a few champions among its enormous roster who specialises in this type of weapon:
Ashe, the Frost Archer wields a magic bow of "True Ice", allowing her to fire icy arrows at her enemies. She's notably more utility-based than other marksmen in the game, able to use arrows to slow and freeze opponents as she shreds them apart.
Ezreal, the Prodigal Explorer wields a magic gauntlet that in addition to giving him Teleportation forms an Energy Bow to blast out bolts of light. Functionally, his gameplay features some of the best balance between "mage" and "marksman" elements, allowing him to reasonably and effectively serve as either.
Varus, the Arrow of Retribution is himself an evil, demonic-esque bow hijacking a host body, and fires magically-conjured arrows of destruction. Compared to the above, he's a much slower, more methodical Long-Range Fighter, able to charge up piercing arrows to violently snipe enemies from afar.

In Fire Emblem: Three Houses, while no class specializes in both bows and magic, any class can equip any physical weapon and magic has limited uses so bringing a backup weapon can be useful. Of the game's mages, Hubert of the Black Eagles, Mercedes of the Blue Lions and Professor Hanneman have strengths in using bows. Their Strength stats are still lackluster, but the Magic Bow, which deals damage based on the user's Magic stat instead, can be quite potent in their hands. Mercedes and Hanneman even have special bows available to them late in the game that synergize with their Crests. The Downloadable Content character Yuri is also skilled in magic and can develop a budding talent in archery, although he's a swordsman first and foremost. Of the archers, Felix and Ignatz are both skilled bowmen who can also develop magic skills as a budding talent.

Star Wars Legends:
The Coruscant Nights trilogy, set a year or so after Revenge of the Sith, introduces a Jedi sect called the Gray Paladins who eschew lightsabers in favor of blasters and favor a minimalist approach to the Force. The mainstream order considered them borderline heretics. Two dozen or so Paladins survive the Battle of the Jedi Temple and quickly become valued resistance fighters (although only one appears in person).
Members of the New Jedi Order often carry blasters in addition to lightsabers. This shouldn't be too surprising given many of their number are former military.

Thorn in Battleborn decimates her enemies with arrows and special magic powers, such as blight fields, which deal significant area-of-effect damage. She can also apply her powers to her arrows, inflicting enemies with a damage-over-time effect called "curse".

The titular character of Coffin Princess Chaika uses a sniper rifle as her Gundo and shoots a versatile array of magic spells from it, which includes combat (the Ripper), support (the Breaker), and utility (the Searcher) spells among them.

The second Mistborn series, Wax and Wayne, is full of this. Guns were invented in the setting sometime after the first series, and the settings magic is all based around metal, so unsurprisingly allomancers and feruchemists have found a number of ways to use their powers in a gunfight. Wax is the most prominent, being the protagonist and having two powers that are very handy in a gunfight: he can telekenetically push on metal and alter his own weight at will. He's come up with a huge list of tricks from simply shoving enemy guns out of their hands or nudging their bullets off target, to giving his bullets and extra push so they can penetrate cover or increasing his weight to more easily handle the recoil of higher caliber firearms.

Hope of Final Fantasy XIII does a thrown weapon variant of this - his strongest roles are the three magic-oriented roles (Ravager, Medic, Saboteur), and his weapons are all boomerangs.

The Coruscant Nights trilogy, set a year or so after Revenge of the Sith, introduces a Jedi sect called the Gray Paladins who eschew lightsabers in favor of blasters and favor a minimalist approach to the Force. The mainstream order considered them borderline heretics. Two dozen or so Paladins survive the Battle of the Jedi Temple and quickly become valued resistance fighters (although only one appears in person).

Elves in PHD: Phantasy Degree can use magic to create bows and arrows. Iris is especially talented in materializing magic arrows, as she can form her arrows spontaneously, unlike Hexion who needs to use hairs to forge them.

Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai: Maam has a magic gun created by Avan which fires spells from specially prepared cartridges - as a Priest she can use this to cast her own Healing Hands spells at a distance, and she also keeps a stock of offensive magic prepared by friendly Mages. By cramming two fire spells into the same cartridge, the gun can melt an icy prison that No Sells all other magic... at the cost of shattering. As Maam has no way of attaining a new gun afterwards, and was already starting to feel that she was a mediocre spellcaster who brought nothing unique to the group, this leads her to completely abandon the fighting style and retrain as a Bare-Fisted Monk.

Bullet Witch pretty much has this trope as its basis. Protagonist Alicia has a magical gun that looks like a broomstick, can morph into either sniper rifle, shotgun or Gatling gun, and its ammo is reloaded with magic. Not to mention her deadly mass-destruction spells when things get really hairy.

Ixs, a villain from The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak saga, uses rifle that shoots physical bullets but his shots are enhanced in a way that the bullets change their trajectory at impossible angles. He's categorized as this trope because his self-buff craft, "DROP-01 X," boosts his magic attack and magic defense instead of his physical stats implying that either the shots are manipulated by orbal energy or Ixs uses a genuine magic outside of orbal technology.
