Without the distinction in the actual DMG, we’d have to add what is essentially homebrewed info to the firearms in our DMG code. I’m not really comfortable with that.
That said, I’ve at least figured out how to assign overall firearm proficiency. So the end result will be that the City Cleric and Technomancy Wizard will be proficient in all firearms, and the Arcane Gunslinger invocation will allow for any firearm to be selected. If DM’s want to say “rifles don’t count”, they can. But Hero Lab won’t make the distinction between sidearms and long arms.
