To craft a low grade cold iron weapon, you must be an expert in crafting and have the appropriate materials and formulas. Here is where the confusion is happening.

Do I need
a) a formula for low grade cold iron weapon? So if I want to upgrade the grade I would need a new formula and for a different material I would need a new formula.

b) a new formula for a low grade cold iron (EACH INDIVIDUAL WEAPON)? which means that I would need two formulas to craft a low grade cold iron DAGGER and a low grade cold iron RAPIER?

I would say if a PC has a crafter’s book and knows how to work with one grade of one material, they should be able to craft with an item of that material.

Totally fair. But I hate the idea of somebody shooting at a gunslinger with a longbow, they throw themselves out of harm’s way, roll, dice, whatever, then end up lying on the ground with a gun in their hand and an archer some 60 feet away and they have take a -2 instead of being totally stable? Can’t say I’m good at adjusting rules or a rules guru in general as I’m still new to PF2E but some sort of bonus for going prone with a long rifle would make sense to me.

Using the hit the dirt reaction you end up prone.

A-2 on attack rolls for being prone with a either the arquebus or the musket doesn't make much sense.

Lying down and shooting is the most stable platform for long guns.

Would be better if it either negated that -2 or even gave a +2. Especially with the arquebus.
