[@Dinh AaronMk]It depends entierly on the design if it's useful on the horse and whenever primitive methods can reconstruct a gun. You don't have just one type of handgonne but a whole myriad of them, and that's just if we keep at the gonnes rather than other early firearms. Anyways, I wanted to make a longer response but given this is your interest check I don't wish to derail the thread. And yes, guns would not be optimal to use. I don't even really want them to gain any sorts of advantage. I just like early guns and the funky experimental shenanigans people tried with them. I also feel you might be mixing nomads with hunter gathering cultures of old. Though granted I am also using a fairly lose definition as historians prefer to describe this as semi-nomadic. Think of the Mongols when they were still split into clans. I'll mix some of that and elements like the Huns to get a fairly interesting culture. As I mentioned the guns are in part used due to religious reasons.
