I know not a lot of models actual have guns or bows (though they do exist). But, what do you think is the best "shooting" army (and I realize this may be a mostly magic army instead).

What would everyone consider the best shooting army.

Thanks

Right now its tzeentch loaded down with magic and skyfire units. They do a ridiculous amount of damage at range with both spammed mortal wounds and high quality ranged shots.

Though I'd expect that their efficiency coefficient is about to get hammered with a points update to make them actually cost what they should in GHB 2018.

Wasn't a million buffed Pistol-toting Empire guys ultra killy for a long time?

In the age of points after GHB 2016 no not really. They weren't really undercost. They mihgt have had decent damage output but powergamers want the undercost that does even more damage output.

Freeguild gunlines of both the crossbow and musket variety are nasty and can are definitely up there own with the right support.

Savage ork Kunnin Rucks...
something like 90 shots from 30 boys,
and the Ruck (formation) rule lets you shoot twice

two of those units should beat down a fair amount of enemy,
and the Orks are pretty good in melee too
