A gun burner has a blower supplying the air. Naturally 
aspirated means it draws it's own. Almost all oil 
burners are guns though it is possible to inject oil at 
a sufficient pressure to induce compustion air it isn't 
common at all.

On the oil burner front, the recent trend is to use an 
air brush as the oil atomizer/injector. From what I 
hear from the pottery kiln and casters, it works pretty 
well.
