It has been confirmed that Connor will be able to dual-wield pistols in-game as a full weapon. And I'm pretty sure he can use the Tomahawk and Pistol in a combo or the Hidden Blade and Pistol in a combo. So I do believe that guns will be a common weapon for him, also considering that in the newest trailer, he was using a musket to counter attack a redcoat. While this is purely speculation, one would imagine that he would be able to fire the damn thing too, rather than only using the bayonett.
