What is an assault class? They would have had basic infantry training and then their sniper training. Not sure how they would be any different than a modern scout-sniper team. Even if they are MARSOC or SOCOM teams they train routinely.
@MelonHead alright heres my proposal, i'll fight your ghoul but I wont use Zai-Matsu, too many strategic disadvantages. But I will use Rodetta The Red for a more med-evil match up. Yes I will have fire, but you will also have the muskets.
Or if you are set on facing Zai-Matsu I'd be happy to use him against one of your other characters.
