Viper: twinblade specialist..?

I don't know, I can't help but feeling we're missing the core identity of the job that SE is hiding for now.
So, what does a gunbreaker do? What kind of weapon does a warrior use? Does a dark knight ride a dark horse?

As I've said before, "viper" conjures up an idea of a quick-striking blade user, much more readily than those other names suggest anything specific in terms of fighting style or weapon.

This just feels like scraping for any reason to discredit the name. There is no reason why one discipline can't be named after an animal, nor any reason why others would also need to share the pattern before one is allowed to do so.
