Posted back in september and got some general advice, but now I need a harder ruling. For PFS, does a gun count as Mostly Metal, or Mostly Wood? Or should I split the weight in half and price special materials by the half a weapon?
Mostly metal allows me to make it from Adamantine, Cold Iron, or Mithral. (& less useful stuff)
Mostly wood allows me to make it from Darkwood or Greenwood.
Interestingly, Elysian Bronze or Viridium don't care what the base material are.
Specifically, I need rulings for Pistols, double-barrel pistols, blunderbuss, and muskets.

You can't 'split' weapons between wood and metal for rule purposes, so a gun MUST be made from either metal or wood - not both. Given that a gun with a wooden barrel would not last very long, all guns must be considered to be made of metal, with any wood on the item being purely decorative.
This means you can make a gun out of Adamantine, Cold Iron, Mithral, etc. However, note that a cold iron gun won't automatically shoot cold iron bullets, so unless you're using it as an improvised melee weapon constructing a gun out of these special materials won't help v.s. DR.
