There will always be a few people that RP as being something out of Metal Gear in the environment of XIV. But, at the same hand, there will be good RPers who know which boundaries to stay into.
From what Madda knows so far about the Machinists, they do have their guns and such, but they'll still be several disadvantages.
First, guns, technology, stuff. The majority of the people in the three city states have almost no clue of the technology. There are a few RPCs that have a history with it, but unless they know how to fix whatever issue themselves, damaged widgets and such are going to remain broke with having very limited options of repairing it.
Second, unless stated otherwise somewhere, they are going to have to reload at some point. Archers and such can get another arrow, but Machinists are going to have a tough time counting ammo, keeping stock, reloading, and being on the defensive while doing so.
Adding partially to the third, with many RPCs having loved ones dying to Garleans, your character may appear sympathetic to their cause. While interesting for RP, it's going to be awkward explaining yourself when asked about the stuff.
But the main answer will just be to keep digging through the rough. There will always be a few diamonds.
Madda's machinist will have a small hoverbot she can ride on for short periods of time, and usually will spend her time in Limsa, shooting fireworks and stuff. Possibly illegal.
