The thickness of a dime from tip to needle points, that's without the machine running. Tip: we don't call them "guns" they are "machines", novices who don't know better call them "guns".

How fast should a liner tattoo machine run?

A tattoo machine's speed is so very widely variable that an estimate would do no good. You could use a weak coil machine with a lot of spring tension on a low power source and it will go really slow. But say you use a double contact liner at high power and it goes fast. Even a single machine can be a slow shader or a fast liner. You'll never find a straight up answer, sorry.
