It's possible the transcript could be taking some liberties with describing equipment.

Chances are the weapons Orokin soldiers would be using are the same firearms the Tenno were using. There's not much reason why something as simple as a braton (something that warframes probably used during the war) would be exclusively used by the Tenno.

So the artistic liberty is probably with describing modern day ballistic weapons as "percussion rifles." While not exactly an accurate description, this is also a society that has progressed beyond the use of gunpowder weapons. They may have mislabeled a detonating cap as a percussion cap.

But Occam's razor. This is assuming a lot about Orokin society so maybe they are using primitive crank rifles.
