Here's something to consider. Gunpowder has been around for a very long time, long before guns came into being. Guns predate the Industrial revolution. There's a TON of information out there on how to make guns. For example, I can make a slam-fire shotgun with two pieces of pipe, an endcap, and a nail. It wouldn't be pretty, but it would work. I've got a picture of a fully functional submachinegun made by the IRA out of the leg of a lawn chair. No shit, a friend took the pic while at the Pattern Room in England before it was shut down. The design work has been done, and that's the HARD part. As long as mankind remembers how to work metal, we can make guns. Even if we forget how to make and work metal, guns have been made of other materials such as wood. Ever see the "Mythbusters" episode where they mad a cannon out of a log? How about the Junkyard Wars where they made a gun using a truck axle as a barrel? Where there's a will, there's a way, and as long as we haven't devolved back past BASIC feudalism, there will be guns. And ammo.
