I like the explosive crossbow bolt idea alot actually...
I would think you could run the mass of a militias force with more primitive weapons, perhaps even limiting the firearms to a "weapons platoon" or something. Leaving a mechanized reaction force equipped with military style weaponry to deal with bigger threats. Plus you would still have simple mortars for indirect fire support.
Or even just keep the militias as part of internal security freeing the more advanced weaponry for the less secure areas of your area.
