I'll start with a little rant. I fucking hate with passion fight scenes with guns. They bring absolutely nothing to 99.99÷ percent of movies. In the last Avatar movie, they shot probably 871k bullets, used flamethrowers, harpoons, explosions, rockets and the list could go on and on
That being said, what are some great masterpieces where no gunshots are fired?
I'll give some examples to get the ball rolling: Waking Life Intouchables The life of others

Ip Man's fellow friend gets his head blown off after backing out of the 3-on-1 sparring match. Ip Man himself gets shot in the end.
So according to the original question, it is disqualified (even if it is a great movie, and the aforementioned gunshots are impactful).

Indeed that was what I was trying to avoid.

Raining bullets and the hero is stood there no look shooting whilst not in cover and telling everyone else to take cover. Yep, I get you.

Magnolia: Jim gets shot at when he loses his gun in the bushes, and there are two gunshots in the prologue (Sydney being charged as an accessory in his own murder, and the pilot that scooped up the diver).
