How much stronger would Batman be if he was willing to use guns?

much less effective, the guns would ruin his sense of stealth

You think Batman gets any tactile pleasure out of punching people? You can't tell me he doesn't get something out decking the holy fuck out of somebody.

Not very.
Batman won't hesitate to pull out an energy canon or sticky bomb a bitch if he has to. All a gun really does is throw a small piece of metal really hard and that's not as useful as you'd think.

As strong as a man with a gun. So, pretty insignificant compared to the people he hangs out with regularly. Besides, Year Two is still canon. He's tried using a gun, and did it grudgingly. Didn't much like it.

What does Batman's no-gun rule entail anyway? It was considered a big deal when he shot Darkseid but would it really be that different if he just used a cannon or something not gun-shaped?

See the nerf isn't no guns we're wayyy past guns at dc batman might be vulnerable to guns but his real limitation is killing

He could create something similar to the “silencer” type pistols they had in WW2.

>would it really be that different if he just used a cannon or something not gun-shaped?
he only had the one bullet, and it was bullet-shaped

I'd watch Batman aide the resistance in occupied Paris by assassinating SS with Welrod MkII pistol.

About the same, unless he's benching miniguns or something stupid

Suppressors ain't really stealthy

you say that like all of Batman's tools are realistic

What if he used guns that shot rubber bullets?

Not much considering he built his entire fighting style around not needing guns and not lethally injuring people.

>guns
>stronger
Ooooook

Welrods were actually really quiet but could only be used for so long, I'm sure bats would've improved on the design if he were inclined

Normal guns: not very strong at all. Arguably weaker as most anons stated already.
Fantastical comic guns: see the evil Tim Drake Batman from that recent Detective Comics arc.

He'd be weaker, he'd be more reliant on guns then

Weren’t they bolt action though?

He'd be a better weapon, but a worse hero.

>and that's not as useful as you'd think
Tell that to every military, police agency, and CCW holder in the world.

batman with supermans powers managed to clean up the intire world within a day

if he uses regular pistols like red hood , maybe medium weak , but if he uses specials pistols like omega beams

He'd be weaker due the lack of "Strength born from Necessity".

Not very.
He'd still be non-lethal so outside of rubber bullets or something, he wouldn't do well.

He has magic blowguns for instant knockout.
He has gas for instant group knockout
