The West Coast Offense is also forerunner to the Fun n Gun. The formations and routes were based off Norm
There are basically 3 types of pass dominant offenses and many have been blended
Run n Shoot:Mouse Davis of Portland State is pretty much given credit as Father of this offense.together.(Houston Cougars with Ware and Klingler put up gaudy numbers in the late 80's early 90's)
Air Raid:Lavelle Edwards (BYU) was the father and MULTIPLE HC's in the NFL and CFB come from his coaching tree or are disciples.Mike Leach (attended BYU but didn't play or coach) and Hal Mumme took his playbook and put it on steroids.
West Coast Offense:Sid Gilliam (AFL Chargers) is given most of the credit for the "Air Coryell"version of this although the 49ers version with Bill Walsh can be traced to Paul Brown
Not sure which category the Fun &Gun falls under or if it used different aspects from each

I don't really think it falls under any of them to be honest. It was unique in that the pattern changed based on the coverage, but not necessarily reading on the run like the run and shoot.
One example, if the defense was in a single high look, the combination would be a curl-flat, but if they went to 2 high, it would change to hutch-corner.
Not sure how many systems have that built into them.

I'm pretty sure Edwards' byu teams were considered a WCO which would merge two of your categories.
One of the most consistent things said about both offenses(air raid & wco) is that they are simplistic and a coach can put his own twist on it that makes it look totally different.
