Gunpowder and cannons exist in TES according to the wiki, going all the way back to Daggerfall (there's also a dwarven arquebus and hand cannon in ESO - albeit not regular firearms). The only argued lore reason they aren't common in TES is because magic is commonplace and superior. However, that's a piss-poor argument because the same could be said of the usefulness of bows and any other regular older weapon. The real reason is there's no logic at all but simply that the fantasy genre always just loves dressing itself with the ancient, sword & sandal look. And because in our real-world that period was pre-guns, they seem out of place in TES.
Who said anything about the "Dwemer Coin Shooter" being traditional firearm? Among the Dwemer existed many a master mage crafter (Kagrenac anyone?). So in my line of thinking the "gun" is perhaps more like a crossbow, strictly mechanical by design. Or maybe magically enhanced to "fire off" coins. It certainly doesn't seem outside the scope of Morrowind in it's existence there.
Also; "And because in our real-world that period was pre-guns, they seem out of place in TES."
Morrowind is not meant to be a reflection of our reality.
Dear DoubleBrewski, my name is Ale1999 and I'm creating a new expansion pack for Morrowind: The Elder Scrolls III Purgatorivm.

I am sorry but I speak english bad. 30/3/2013 Ale1999
I started noticing errors with the dialog for the npcs. I opened up CS and I got a crap load of errors. It is a nice mod, but what I can tell is that no one can find it! I can't find it so I guess I am just going to cheat.
