The Chlorophyte Canegun is not as good as the Great Dane, only having a slightly lower use time. I think the the Canegun should be buffed, but other than that, I like this.

Crafted with 12 Adamantite Bars at an Mythril/Orichalcum Anvil.

These guns aren't necessarily bad but they all have the problem of being worse Clockwork Assault Rifles with nothing special to them. I guess "it has nothing special" fits all three ores pretty well.

This one is done right, it's weaker than the Phoenix Blaster in terms of stats but I assume it autofires so it's a good weapon to start Hardmode with.

Orichalcum Onager
Damage: 27
Knockback: 1
Crit chance: 4%
Use time: 18
Velocity: 10
Bullets have a 20% to be accompanied by flower petals that deal a tenth of the bullets damage
Crafted with 15 Orichalcum Bars at an Mythril/Orichalcum Anvil.

A tenth of a Gun's total damage after factoring enemy's defense is almost always 1-2 damage. Should be bumped up to 50% as minimum, in which case it starts to become pretty good.
The hell is an Onager?

Titanium Tactical Shotgun
Damage: 36
Knockback: 0.5
Crit chance: 4%
Use time: 11
Velocity: 10

Borderline broken and probably comparable if not better than Onyx Blaster. It's already close to a Megashark DPS, and it has piercing built in on a gun that fires slowly enough for Iframes to not matter. I'm also going to assume the Shotgun in the name is a typo and it's not multishot, because that would make Daedalus Stormbow look like a Wooden Bow.

Great Dane
Damage: 42
Knockback: 1
Crit chance: 4%
Use time: 28
Velocity: 10
Crafted with 12 Hallowed Bars at an Mythril/Orichalcum Anvil.

This is comparable to a Phoenix Blaster.

Chlorophyte Canegun
Damage: 40
Knockback: 0.5
Crit chance: 4%
Use time: 23
Velocity: 10
Crafted with 14 Chlorophyte Bars at an Mythril/Orichalcum Anvil.

And this one is apparently worse than the Adamantite gun, which was already kinda meh to begin with.

Exactly, that's what I was going for lol

An onager isn't a gun, its a medieval Roman catapult.
....necessarily catapults are guns but just let me have my alliteration please

Since Tactical Shotguns are real things, the "Shotgun" in the name is for visual only. This gun is not multishot.

This is comparable to a Phoenix Blaster.
I think I'll up the damaage a lot - dane guns are slow firing, but shoot exploding bullets - I'll add that part in.

And this one is apparently worse than the Adamantite gun, which was already kinda meh to begin with.
Hmm, I'll change up the canegun.
 
Alliteration the Post

and I'd say between the Phoenix Blaster, the Onyx Blaster, and the Clockwork Assault Rifle that guns are in a pretty good place right now.
ESPECIALLY the Onyx Blaster.
