Only been in the biz for about 20 years and never used one on a customers lock.

Lots of hype, never found them useful.

You should move the pick gun away from the computer, the electric field is messing with the words you are typing and making it look like you can't spell.

Some days locks fall open, some days ya' can't pick your nose. Carry all three types of pick tools.
Hand set, mechanical pick gun, and an electric.

A pin tumbler may respond better to any one of the three. For example a lock you can crack in a few seconds with a hand set may not open as well with guns - the reverse can also be true.
I always start out with a hand set though. I like to feel the action, find out if it's dirty or clean in there (jammed), count pins etc.

I've used both as well. i.e. pick three pins by hand, then bump the other two or three with a gun.
