Default Can this welding gun be fixed?

Steve, do you know if I can use fluxcore wire in a MIG gun that was
designed for welding with inert gun?

Or do I need two guns, one for welding with inert gas, and another gun
for fluxcore?

Admittedly, my experience is a little sparse, but the first time I welded
it was with a thing called a "cricket," with fluxcore (little tiny box
about 12" W x 18" H x 20" D that plugged into 115V). Where I sit now they
use MIG, and I can't see any difference in the gun from the one I used lo
those many years ago with fluxcore.

I guess I'd say go for it. :-)

Cheers!
