Standard Warden Equipment?

Armed to the teeth does not equal uniformed. The passage you cited below explicitly says there is no industrial standard (for fire evocation, but I think it can be generalized to the ways wizards fight). Look at it this way: Wizard A can create huge fireballs and wreak tremendous destruction for hours on end with them. Wizard B is an earth specialist who can create literal killer earth quakes. Both of them might also carry guns, maybe wizard B does, but wizard A thinks that the additional weight slows him down without adding much benefit to what he can do with his magic. They have both been Wardens for over a hundred years now. I'd assume they know very well why they made which choices about the weapons they carry and those they leave behind.

Look at Dead Beat. Ramirez and the rest of the junior wardens are described as being armed with the same set of handguns and grenades.

Luccio and Morgan didn't and Luccio's not the kind of person who doesn't keep up with the news.
If you want to have fun arguing that the more experienced persons on a job somehow know less about how to do it than the newbies, go ahead. I do not want to fall into that particular trap. :P

It can happen, after all being Hidebound is a natural human thing and the Council as a whole has that reputation. But that would not be a danger under Luccio specifically, who is both far too practical for such nonsense and personally interested in modern technology enough to make a study of it.
