I'd forgotten that the majority of firearms in WHFB/Mordheim were designated Aquesbuses.

Well in Mordheim yes they are mostly Aquesbuses, but that is set about 2000 years back in the Warhammer time line in 'contemporary' Warhammer they are mostly rifles

My initial observation stands, however, for concistency as well as accuracy these should be called guns, not rifles.

True - I was using the term Hand-gun for a while, but it came up in play-testing that players confused the term Hand-gun with Pistol (probably due to the terms hand-gun and pistol being used interchangeable when referring to modern weapons)
I thought Rifle would better describe a medium sized gun - I suppose musket would work too, but then some one would just argue the other way

I guess I need to find a more universal term that isn't confusing
