TLT does not trigger Hot Shot at all; it triggers when attacking with primary weapon.

Gunner is a different matter: your first primary weapon attack will force them to spend a token while defending (during the modify dice steps) if they have one, and the gunner primary weapon attack will also force the enemy to spend another focus token if they still have one.

When you're defending against TLT, it's trickier. The FAQ lines above tell us the attacker "must spend a focus token after the Declare Target step and before the end of the Modify Attack Dice step". This seems to indicate they would have to spend a focus token on their first shot, and wouldn't have to on their second shot.
