In my opinion, both are good, but each have their special range:
 * Howitzers are extremely good at a very long range
 * Blunderbusses are deadly at close combat

But... These two are nerfed (damage reduced) by a specific equipment:
 * Howitzers are almost useless against the Anti-Explosive Gear
 * Blunderbusses are weak against the Close Quarter Pants/Brazilian Warrior Pants

These equipment is quite frequently used in game.
 * The Anti-Explosive Gear is obtained by many as there was a second Hand Grenade Fest, which was easier than the first one
 * The two pants are obtainable by purchase using real world money, except for CQP which can be obtained in Summer Camp event last year.

Not to mention, the Chinese New Year event introduced two new Anti-Explosive armors.

Overall, as for me, Howitzer is better. Especially when you have any Anti-Explosive Gear with you while you're using it.
