Firearms - should they have a negative effect on CT's?

In the TT-game, you get a -1-modifier on you CT if shoot by firearms or atrillery
In the PC-game it seems that this -1-modifier only applies if being shot by Art, not by Firearms.
Is this intended or an error?

-1 for firearms seems to be applied here so cannot find a bug.

I suspect the problem is that because their shooting is not additive with that of other units, they rarely score enough hits to trigger a cohesion test.
How about adding a flag which sets if a unit is shot at by firearms. Then if it has to test later in the turn for shooting from another unit it applies the -1. That would be more similar to the TT rules, and make handgunners actually useful.
At the moment they seem to be largely useless, and you are better off using javelinmen if available. (Quite apart from having to turn the sound volume down to avoid getting a headache
).
