From what I can gather, guns were rather volatile back then - didn't work very well in the rain, too inaccurate to use over long distances, had a rather nasty habit of exploding if overfilled. I won't ban them, but if you do use them keep these restrictions in mind.

The other issue is magic. In the past, lots of people seemed hesitant to join an RP where they can use magic - others wouldn't join one that didn't. What do we all think? Magic or no magic?
