Lawless Victory!
All specials grant 1/17th bar on activation of move, plus an additional 1/17th per hit on block. Multi hitting moves therefore build more meter on block.
Long shot only generates meter before the shot is fired, so it is in your best interest to maximise gun cancels.
SOS generates meter only if a follow up move is activated
On hit, opponent receives:
Throw - 1/4 exact
Caltrops 1/~93 bar per tick
Sand grenade - 1/5th of a bar
Slide - 1/5th of a bar
Sand tackle - 1/4 bar
Marksman;
Unload - 1/10th bar per shot
Long shot - 1/5th bar
Swing shot - 1/6th exact
Gunslinger;
Money shot - 1/8th of a bar
SOS 2 - 1/5th of a bar
SOS 3 - 1/10th of a bar (1 hit)
SOS 4 - 1/25th of a bar (1 hit)
Dust storm - 1/6 exact
Outlaw;
Tarkatarn stab - 1/4 exact (bleed dmg does not generate extra meter)
Sand toss - 1/17th
Strings;
All strings build approx 1/16th bar per hit on block. As with specials, more hits in the string equals more meter so abuse your safe multi hitting strings
F122 builds 1/5th of a bar
21122 builds 1/3rd of a bar (1/16th per hit)
EDIT:
Sos 3 is now gunslingers best meter builder.
2112xxsos3 builds about 75% of one bar
F1,3xxsos3 builts about 60% of one bar
Tl; dr: drop caltrops every chance you get
Nb; all meter building values are approx because this game doesn't make it easy to calculate these things
