I'd be happy to see Huntsmen have the option to swap their longbows for handguns or crossbows (probably +2 pts/model for guns, only +1 for crossbows since, with Scout, they'll be in range anyway). But just handguns - not rifles or any such nonsense. Rifles are close to, if not completely, impossible for the Empire to manufacture given its technological state.
A Marksman could have option for a Hochland long rifle, though...but only if the rest of the unit is carrying handguns.
