I'm referring mostly to word choice here, though guns in ES are never something I've really approved of. The developers have never been keen on including them, and I would say it breaks the theme.

I disagree. I think it would be cool at some point in the story if there was a modern world surrounded by ES magic, but the story is set at a time where this is kind of impossible. It would take several more decades of scientific advancement in order to make clockwork pistols even. I see our current era as the end of the middle ages of ES.
