Although Matchlocks won't show up that much with the largest armies only having enough for a small regiment of Matchlock gunners. An arquesbus is a matchlock. A matchlock is not a weapon but an umbrella term for the firing mechanism. Handcannons with some matchlocks would work.

I love super-late medieval armies, so I like the "not quite pike-and-shot" idea. My faction would probably be based around the Italians in this period.
