We have been using firearms for a while and here are some of the sample homebrews we use. We are using the old campaign setting and updating for playtest.
You could use an upgrade style system for firearms.

Arquebus, Musket, and Rifle barrels can be worn down, no rules to wear down the barrel, just for found or starting weapons
light wear: -1 attack and reduce range by 5 ft, reduce price by 50%

repair barrel: price is 50% of base weapon cost
Surprised they didn't include the double misfire chance for non-proficiency. We use exploding dice. Using the old rules an archer hit just as often, but further and faster. I plan on giving everyone at least a pistol for the upcoming weekend, proficiency, and a couple feats, just for the adventure.
