Since I see a lot of people complaining about how Shino is afraid of guns while Sinon isn’t, here’s your answer 

From Kawahara Reki’s Live Commentary, translated by Tap 

I wrote this before, but Shino went to fight in GGO with the belief that she herself will get stronger if Sinon does.
She thought so because she didn’t have an attack when she saw or touched guns in GGO, but that was simply because the AmuSphere, a BMI,
had severed her actual body senses, rather than some phenomenon in Shino’s mind.
As such, Shino’s anxiety that she faintly guessed, that her PTSD won’t recover even if Sinon gets stronger, is on the mark.
