Fuckin' A, man.
It would make for an interesting contrast. The two series are basically about a decade apart, and the change between the early 90s "cop show/action movie" feel of Gunsmith Cats (lightly influenced by 80s action films and action/comedy films, like "The Blues Brothers" and "Lethal Weapon") and the mid-00s gritty "crime drama" feel of Black Lagoon would make for some friction. Some of what I have seen in the manga especially seems to be Rei Hiroe mocking the genre attitudes of earlier films and crime dramas set in other parts of the world, making Roanapur a place that the hard cases of other places can't survive.
