I vaguely remember in an old dragon issue an article about introducing primitive guns into a campaign. Been going through my old magazines looking for it. But as you can imagine its a daunting task. Does anyone happen to remember any gun articles? In particular the actual article title or a dragon mag number?
Thanks.
Dragon 321 had "The Way of the Gun" and Dragon d20 Special had Firearms of Freeport. Both were good if you're looking to add firearms to your fantasy.
The DMG also has a section on firearms, too.

If none of those are the one you're looking for, I'll try to find some more.
"A Second Volley" by Ed Greenwood in #70
"Firearms" in #60 I believe that's the one you're looking for, because it discusses the first generation firearms, such has the "handgun," which was essentially a smooth barrel with a hole cut in it for ignition with an open flame.
i can only moderately stand guns in D&D
in some games, yeah, it would be cool to do a The Good, the Bad, the Ugly-like story, but i don't get that excited by guns often.
