As far as small arms go, it would probably be the Barret M107. As far as everything which could be encompassed in the term "gun", your most likely candidate would be the 155mm howitzer, as the larger 175 and 203mm howitzers have since been phased out of service in favour of the MLRS.
During the Vietnam War, the most powerful USA gun was the 175mm SPG (Self Propelled Gun). The second would probably have been the 8" SPG, also used in Vietnam. The most powerful gun of the war was the USN battleship USS New Jersey's 16" guns (aka rifles), she fired nearly 6,000 of those shells during her tour on the gunline in Vietnam.

Post Vietnam era, today's military, would probably be the US Army's 155mm guns (6" guns).

USN battleships, if they were to be activated again, would have missiles on them. The USS New Jersey was the world's last traditional battleship (all guns) to see combat.
