Has anyone tried this out much? Is the rate of fire now controlled by the slowest gun? Do they tend to all shoot at the nearest guy?

well, i think it's kinda annoying you can't say first line fire, second line fire but left flank fire, middle fire and right flank fire. I think the flanks aren't equally divided either since my middle one took far less kills. You need quite some practice to let them shoot at the right time but it's nice to have

You can order the fire even if the slowest are not ready yet. Works well in my opinion.
You can prearrange your units into flanks by assigning them to those groups out of battle.
I have specific groups like 'Aides de camp', who are my stat boost npcs that also accompany me during battles.

Like Nox said, basically just use the groups function and seperate your units into groups with names, something like:
Infantry - Front Line
Marksman - Line 1
Marksman - Line 2
Marksman - Line 3
Heroes
Cavalry
etc.
Then use the "backspace" key to open up the map view and give your initial commands from there, or drag the flags on the minimap.In battle select group and tell to Fire.
To be honest though you don't want to overcomplicate your troop management during combat.
Having troops holding fire for too long will only work against you.
What I do is simply put them into the positions I want and command to fire at will.
If the enemy gets too close charge and/or use any weapons at will.
Sometimes simple is better

I'm pretty sure they can...
Projectiles can hurt anyone, because they are not associated once they become projectiles.
Example 1: Thrown weapons and arrows/bullets will hurt you when used by allies.
example 2: grenades will hurt you.
Also, try editing an arrow to ignore gravity, and its bow to fire a projectile that moves at speed 20. Move yourself into the path of the projectile. You get hit. (only on a battlefield) alternately you can just edit a rock to ignore gravity and slow it down a bit...
