Many interpreted this as him being a [[Master Sergeant]] with the last name "Guns". However, "Master Guns" is an informal address for a [[Master Gunnery Sergeant (rank)|Master Gunnery Sergeant]], and the character's name is not known. In articles he is often referred to as the unnamed Master Gunnery Sergeant, the Armory's Master Gunnery Sergeant, or "Master Guns" (only if a direct quote from the game). This also might just be a way of Johnson to say "master of the armory."
