Hey.
Are there any "Hack & slash" games but with guns instead of melee weapons?

Space Marine and Deadpool are similar but the shooting is blended with melee so it's more "guns as well as" instead of "guns instead of."
You could play as Strife in Darksiders Genesis. His main weapons are dual pistols.
I think Bladestorm had some guns, but its still mostly melee weapons.
Would something like Warhammer Vermintide (2), Left 4 Dead (2) or World War Z be close to it?
Tons of small cannon fodder with the occasional big one you need to actually fight against, rather than holding LMB
Earth Defense Force is the first thing that comes to mind
Serious Sam series.
Dynasty Warriors: Gundam. That side-series is the closest you're gonna get, really.
Relic's Space Marine. There is some melee mixed in but there is a lot of bolter and sword vs. the endless tide of greenskins and demons.
There's a decent amount of shooting to be done in Space Marine with lots of staples of 1st- and 3rd-person-shooters. Sniping, run-and-gunning, "shotgun" style weapon for close-up work, explosives. Melee does make up a big part of the game but often it's most sensible or even necessary to treat it like a shooter.
What would that even be? Twin-stick shooter? I haven't even heard of a genre like hack&slash without melee weapons. What would it even be called?
There are hundreds if not thousands of 3rd person shooters.
I suppose Warframe could count.
