Just as an FYI, a lot of cannons made, particularly early ones, were made using bronze. And smith and Wesson made a bronze pistol. Semi automatic 1911. The Bronze 1911 pistol -

And a Kentucky long rifle made of brass.

I don’t want you running afoul of the gun bloggers they're a tough bunch.

I know about bronze cannon (the semi-mythical "bombardes" I mention were indeed cast from bronze).

I didn't know about the bronze 1911, though. The gun appears to have cast bronze (brastil) frames and other parts. From the picture, it appears the barrel and hammer and other internal bits are steel. I'm not sure that would count! A brass barrelled musket is pretty similar to what could actually be made in this world.

I certainly don't want to run afoul of the gun bloggers, but fact remains, flash powders are used for medicine and fireworks rather than weapons. There are forces and weapons that can harness them that pretty much put paid to the blunderbuss, anyway.
