MH3 Leather Armor has a pistol on the right hip of the male, showing firearm capabilities even though bows and bowguns are used.

First off, available on not just men. Women get kickass weapons on their armour too y'know. Second, those dual swords would be carving knives as they're too small to be actual combatable blades (supported by the giving of Carving Master Skill). Third, leather armour is available for both Blademaster and Gunner, however your point remains standing, as blademasters can still use this equipment.
