At least, it's not like some designs of Gunlances are impossible: the ones that look like "cannons with bayonets", are the ones where it makes sense for them to be able to fire shells without problem. The ones that look like lances wih invisible dinamite strapped to them are less believable.

As for how they don't blow up themselves, simple: They are made from materials taken from monsters that can themselves take a barrage of explosions to the face and remain standing, in some cases being basically gods. It only makes sense the weapons themselves would last about as much.

And Generations added a Heat mechanic where it heats up as you fire, which only makes sense.
