    Conquer the provinces with the gun icon. I believe you need to conquer three in total to get gunpowder units

    In regards to the OP, they are most effective when absorbing a charge. Fire as many volleys as possible, then retreat behind your infantry. After this, try to maneuver them to the flanks to start taking shots at the enemy, but keep an eye out for cavalry. And for goodness sake... DO NOT SHOOT YOUR MEN IN THE BACKS!!!
