Commentary in post #3594154 names Houshou's two weapons as "Adler A110" shotgun & "Double Deuce" 2-bore rifle but they don't exist as tags so I'll let someone else make them.
A 2 bore rifle is a huge hunting cannon that generates several thousand pounds of force per shot. Its bullets alone weigh almost half a pound. That's not something normal people can shoot in one hand. Houshou makes the Doom Guy's Super Shotgun look like a toy.
A distinctive invention of fiction is the hand-held M134 minigun (often with a chainsaw-style grip), a concept which was popularized by the 1980s–90s films Predator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day, wielded by Jesse Ventura/Bill Duke and Arnold Schwarzenegger respectively ...
For movie use, armorers slow down the M134 minigun's rate of fire to conserve ammo, and to allow the spinning barrels to be visible to the movie audience, with a hidden power cable for the firing scenes, and using blank ammo to ease recoil. Nonetheless the prop is still extremely physically demanding, hence the actors wielding it are physically imposing and often have bodybuilding backgrounds. Generally, such depictions will totally ignore the weapon's need for external power, and sometimes even forget that it requires a source of ammunition. In practice, a man-portable M134 minigun would be nearly impossible to manage as an individual infantry weapon, and highly impractical for a human being to either carry or operate. A scaled-down version of the M134, the XM214 Microgun, never reached production status for such reasons.

A video on the Double Deuce and the size compare of the ammo size used: https://youtu.be/OYlDgwo52tI?t=201 And the gun itself weights almost 20kg, and she's holding it with one hand.

Guin has gotta watch Forgotten Weapons, if not at least that video. Aside from the name, even the cheek riser is on the right side of the rifle stock for a left handed shooter as Ian notes at the end of it.
