Interesting you bring up Subnautica, because I remember thinking when I played it “Wow, this game sounds a lot like Half Life!” And wouldn’t you know it, the devs started out as Half Life modders. It goes without saying that the sound design in Half Life is impeccable, and truly iconic. Clearly they learned something!
Given that you asked for guns specifically I’ll go out on a limb and say we are very different gamers!
But Subnautica would be my suggestion. Crazy good sound design.

Definitely seconding this suggestion.
