There are gunner npcs in upper la noscea, on the western side in the camp where the fates spawn. Go check them out. They're clearly not using any guns. My guess is that they will eventually be gunners but the assets for the npcs outside of guild-members/key characters have not been made or implemented yet.
In these cases, I would suspect it to be simply a reference to their position on a ship. I.e. when at sea, they operate the cannons. Ergo, they're the gunners. I highly doubt their equipment is just a place-holder for content that has yet to released.
