If you want this conscisent with the WH world it should really be "Black Powder Musket", (Hakbut in Reikspek, according to my old Warhammer Armies) which gives you the option of later including a Black Powder rifle, perhaps as a treasure found in a quest.

Because of the rifling black powder rifles were generally slower to load, since it was harder to force the bullet down the barrel. There was also a greater chance of fouling so it needed to be cleaned more often between shots.
