As someone who is very gunfire phobic, I have to say that I did not find the gunfire to be a problem at all. There is really quite a lot of it, but it is all prerecorded and in many cases (during the dance numbers), the gunfire it mimed to percussion. None of it is too loud or even much of a surprise. -spoilers- Probably the loudest examples are all very clearly signaled. In each of the acts, there is gunfire at the end of the "Up the Lazy River" scenes (again, clearly signaled). There is also a shoot out during the opening night performance at the end of the show, but it is all clearly indicated. -end spoilers- I actually found the gunfire in Gentleman's Guide to be a bit louder/more surprising than it was in Bullets. And Gentleman's Guide was also pretty mild. It seemed clear that the goal was not to put off the audience, which I appreciated.
