What system could I use to play an elf with two guns? Like this guy, here.

Yeah, I know, d20 Modern, but I want to be able to do cool shit like shoot other people's bullets out of the air.

Suggestions?

If I said Shadowrun, I feel that you'd journey across country to beat my ass. And I'd deserve it. (So...many...dice...) Sadly, I cannot offer terribly helpful suggestions. Wonder if Feng Shui could be adapted for metahumans.

Yes, I would (travel across the country and beat your ass, that is.)

See, the thing is, I want to have this whole deal of "the ancient elven art of gunfighting." Like in Equilibrium, but more... elvish.

Wu Shu? It's the system that brought us the Ancient Art of the Car Chase, after all. Why not the Ancient Elven Art of Gunfighting? :-)

Well, to connect this with my post below, that's possible in unmodified Feng Shui, as a lost timeline. I'd be very Dark Tower, kinda. In Amber, it would just be a matter of the right Shadow. In Nobilis, it could be something from the missing five hundred years, or something from another world on the Ash. And you could establish it as a Fact in Universalis.

you have many choices of system for that

Feng Shui (refugee from a long-dead timeline from the Netherworld). Amber Diceless (high Warfare child from an unusual Shadow). Pretender (http://www.ivanhoeunbound.com/pretender.html) (you can narrate the bullet-catching just fine, and you can play an elf if you want). Nobilis (medium to high Aspect, faerie turned Noble, possible even the Power of Guns or the Power of Two Weapon Fighting). Changeling: The Dreaming (sidhe with Temporis + Prop = elf with bullet time). Universalis (roll your own, a simple matter of Coins and narration).

Boy, that is a lot of systems...

Hey, are you going to run IRC Pretender again any time soon?

I'd love to, but time is an issue. I dunno if I'm even going to be able to show up for Mike's Heroquest game. We shall see... You're back in the States now, right?

Yup, I'm back in the States (PST). Let me know.
