This dicussion appears to be about organic characters, or characters who you wouldn't typically expect to start using hand-held firearms.

I thought just about every humanoid-looking robot in Eggman's forces used firearms too. But didn't Tails become a cyborg when he used a built in gun in Sonic Lost World? If we don't count robots, I don't think the cyborg Tails would count.

That was actually something I wasn't sure about that the game didn't make clear. Did he just dress up like a robot to fool the Six Idiots, or did he really just reprogram the roboticizer so that he would still have control over his own thoughts and then deroboticize himself later?

I asked about this here: http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:291389

Whatever really did happen, Tails still counts in this topic. This is because he hasn't used a hand gun before (or rarely uses one), and because he didn't have to. He could have used something else or a different strategy, but he ultimately decided to use the firearm. Also, if Tails' gun was an addition he had made himself (which is still unknown), then this could also be used to support this.

As for the other characters;

G.U.N. troops- Yes, they would count.

Chris Thorndike - probably not, because he was a non-canon character and wasn't seen/didn't use the gun in any of the games.
