Sorry about missing your post about the guns being modern. I'm not in the playtest and didn't realize the discussion invovled modern guns. I was assuming flintlocks or maybe even match fired things...
Are the guns "damaged" by getting wet (ie swimming or rain)? I suppose the more correct approach would be to make them inoperable for some fairly long duration (minutes to hours).
The more I hear the less I'm interested in WoW. I don't mind when magic and modern mix, but I expect it to then make sense. Swords and especially armor need serious explaining in a world with AK-47 and the like. Or even with gatling guns or "six-shooters." I suppose if the game works and is fun, a lot can be forgiven, but the more mediocre (for a strategy game player), the harder its going to be to suspend my disbelief and achieve any "world immersion."
