Look at 2.x - Any enemy or NPC that uses a gun, do they heal you? Or are they damaging you?

So there's nothing "wrong" perse, however just about every gunner present in XIV as of now is certainly not a healer.
Only issue with this is that it isn't likely to be healing you with the gun itself, but is a healer that uses a gun. It's much in the same way that a White Mage is not healing you by hitting you over the head with the staff, the weapon doesn't matter.
