I like the hand gunners because if it rains or they engage the enemy they turn into pretty decent swordsmen.On a chidish note i like the sound and the smoke they make,adds to the atomosphere of a battle.Historically however the longbow could fire faster than a hand gun/arqebus/musket as late as the battle of waterloo in 1815.But of course any idiot can be trained to use a rifle in a couple of weeks!
