Is machine gun lulu still viable??
If so how should I build her?

I'd say it's viable. What I usually build is:
[
or
]

It works fairly well, especially against bruisers, since you can kite them really easily. Only consistent problem is that the items are expensive, so it's hard to reach full build if you don't get fed.
Would you mix it up a bit with some AP items too?

Yeah, this is definitely the better build. I would only use this build against immobile bruisers, though. Otherwise, the full AP build is better for the Glitterlance burst and higher shields + ult health.
So is it better to take machine gun lulu top or mid?

Top lane for sure, so you can just AA harass bruisers. In mid lane you're going to encounter much burstier assassins/ mages.
Ok so I'm thinking wits end, nashors tooth, sorcerer boots, rabadons, hourglass and... Athenes maybe? I also hear bortk is good on machine gun lulu
Also should you max your whimsy early against bruisers, so you can just whimsey, poke em down, then back off until whimsey is back up?
Does magic damage on hit even crit? o.o
If it doesn't I don't see why PD would be in there. If it does, ignore this.
Nah it doesn't crit. I just like having even more attack speed.
?
It's not very good.
Lulu is a utility mage, not building AP or CDR turns you into a mediocre short range auto-attacker.
Lulus auto attack range isn't that short
Compared to her casting range and the range of things that can kill her, it's short. And unlike ADCs, she doesn't have lifesteal or easy reposition. Without AP her shields and ult are a lot weaker.
It's a fun build, but it's not good enough for serious games.
I honestly didnt know that this was a thing really cool though ( don't reccomend for ranked though)
depends on your definition of viable.
you can make it work but it's not going to get you into the LCS
lots of stuff can work on Lulu. I built gunblade + trinity + IE on her in a game not long ago and won the game pretty handily. it certainly wasn't better than a normal build, but it was fun.
