Bowguns are all solid state and come in 2 weight classes: Light and heavy. Same functionality as in portable 3rd, but both classes have a new upgrade option called a limiter. On both light and heavy bowguns, the limiter increases capacity or even adds an ammo type for a couple different shots (depending on the bowgun) and have a couple other effects for each class. For the light bowgun the limiter allows you to load one magazine of all shot types at once with an extra slow loading animation, meaning if you've exhausted one shot type you can simply switch to another instead of reloading. However, the limiter also prevents your LBG from rapid firing shots it normally can. On the heavy bowgun the limiter gives it a dramatic boost in attack that stacks with the power barrel, and similar to the LBG it comes at the cost of losing seige mode.
