For example if you have the monster stats for a gunslinger, musketeer, sniper this can be a human, hobgoblin or drow. Maybe the same soldier but with a different weapon would be also a different XP value. Today players are too used to shooters like Fortnite or Overwatch and they can tell the difference between a gun, a shotgun or a machine gun in the battlefield.Other point is how to calculate the XP value according the "special gear". For example there is a trap in a dungeon what is a crossbow with a motor for self-loading. A day later to infiltrate within the enemy wall they have to face a humanoid sentinel with the same motorized crossbow. Should the XP value to be the same?* Other idea is in the fantasy setting the gunpowder is known but in the mass battles is a serious taboo because the soldiers killed by balistic damage automatically become <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einherjar" target="_blank">Einherjar</a>, celestials with ballistic damage inmunity, and they only can be hurt by magic or "old-school" combat.</blockquote>
