Honestly I'd rather see less firearms of modern day capacity and higher in the Arena, because they don't translate well to duels, save for perhaps a sniper duel, which would be incredibly cool but poorly done by anyone except real enthusiasts who know the strategy behind that sort of thing. 

I also worry it impedes your ability to RP with an opponent.

Pretty much my thoughts. Though surprising to hear from you seeing as a good deal of your characters use a firearm of some kind. Last tournament looked like you had a rifle. :p 

I almost made a sniper character who had a dog companion but opted not to, it just wouldn't work on any compelling level against the vast majority of PC characters. I never much liked the invention of guns period anyway, but if people want to use them in the Arena their free too.   

It's one of those things I might like to see in a match, but would never want to do myself.
