In tw2000 (at least 2.2) you could roll up "primitives" as an encounter, which were basically armed with spears, machetes, bows, and to a lesser extent crossbows. There existed post-war crossbows made from various parts - this was outlined in a challenge mag article at some stage. So yes, I would agree that armies armed with primitive weapons would exist, and would be at less of an advantage in built up areas and semi-rural fighting with shorter lines of sights.
