Why does he have a gun?
Can bullets pierce AT fields?

If they are fast and strong enough, yes. The AT Field can't apply its effect if something moves faster than the Angel can react or is too much for the Angel to effect. Just don't fire at an ALREADY deployed AT Field.

Could be referring to the pilot.

the fuck? we all know that at fields negate themselves thats the reason the eva is able to fight angels in the frist place because his own atfield negate the angels one
AT fields cancel AT fields. Deploying his own allows the angel to be affected by typical forces.
However for angels with unusually powerful AT fields, such as Zeruel, close combat to overpower their AT field is required.

An "AT Field" is technically active all the time on an Angel, the Barrier generated by one isn't. An AT Field allows them to apply their "will" upon the area the AT Field covers/saturates. If an AT Field isn't strong enough or the Angel doesn't react fast enough, it can't apply its desired effect (For defense, it is the Barrier) on a target before it comes into contact with the Angel itself. Sometimes it doesn't matter because there is so much force or "strength" behind something that it doesn't matter, such as the Positron Rifle used on Ramiel.
-but yes, an Eva's AT Field is so strong it can normally just bypass an Angel's if it is actually used. Eva-01's is ridiculously strong, but Shinji can't (or rather doesn't know how to) make use of it, so his Mother does. -but that's during Berserk.
So yes, if there's an extremely weak, slow reacting Angel out there somewhere, even the Pallet Gun would work on it.

I meant -proper- use of the AT Field, it flares when Eva 01 starts up normally, but is just there.
I really fucking wish people would stop pretending that Anno had any fucking idea what he was doing with Eva. He himself has said MULTIPLE TIMES that it wasn't planned out and he literally put things into it just because he thought they looked cool. There is no deep story, there is no incredible mystery, it was just a coming-of-age tale with giant robots and a whole lot of fuck-you imagery. THAT'S IT.
