I like the idea of them wrecking someone's armor. In real life guns would probably go through/destroy any armor they hit. You could also take the Pathfinder approach and make them generally unreliable for balance reasons. Or you could nix that armor-destroying stuff and give wizardy classes the ability to enchant bullets with spells. Hit in the chest by a bullet enchanted with fireball? That sounds sucky. Bullets enchanted with teleport spells could zip foes into interesting, unkind circumstances. Something like that would be pretty cool, especially since you're adding guns because they're cool to begin with.
