No, no, and no.

Guns have no place in a fantasy game as the role of ranged combat is filled by magic and bows. With the addition of crossbows any room the guns may have had to squeeze in has been filled as well.

Old flintlock pistols were basicly a tiny handhold cannon, and took as long to reload. They would just be a pain in the ass to use such a long-reloading weapon, or they would be unrealistily advanced weapons for just now "showing up".

Lastly, Fantasy always manages to skimp on the science by pulling the magic card. There is little reason to strive for many technological or scientific advances when there is already a spell that can do what you want 10 times faster than you can get it to do. Also Magic seems to be a major subject of study and philosophy. Thus many of the intellects that would otherwise be making the tech and science advances are in fact making advances rather in the same magic that renders them unneeded.
