Are you referring to small arms (rifles, pistols, sub-machine guns, machine guns) or artillery? Correctly, only artillery pieces are refered to as "Guns". If this is what you mean, they were used in many ways, to support the infantry by laying-down barrages on enemy positions before an attack, breaking up enemy attacks, reducing strong points and in counter-battery fire against enemy gun positions. Guns were also used in specialist anti-tank and anti-aircraft roles.
