Could this be merged with Weapons?
Yes
I think so! Firearms never made it out of beta the first time. Or the second or third times either. Weapons is a bit more broad, and so we'll be able to share our knowledge, and our userbase.

Why this proposal is located in recreation?

Fantasy "weapons" are not in scope
