G.U.N. (Guardian Units of Nations)



The Guardian Units of Nations, often abbreviated as GUN or G.U.N., is a military organization featured in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Its status within the Sonic the Hedgehog canon (aside from its Sonic X incarnation) is that of a worldwide military/emergency law enforcement organization, and its duty is to protect the world.

The origin of the name probably stems from the Japanese word for "army" which is simply 'gun' or 'guntai'. Though the name is pronounced "gun" in most games they are in, the name was pronounced "G-U-N" in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) and Sonic Riders Zero Gravity.
