I will post a more detailed version if enough people accept the general idea.
This is a possible way to go from the flintlock, to a customizable modern-esque firearm.
This would first require a way to shape the iron into thinner more useable pieces for firearms.
= piston
= redstone repeater
= cobblestone
[]
This would be a power hammer (I can't recall the real life name for this machine). Upon right-clicking you would put an iron bar in, and it would "hammer out" the side of a magazine.
Bullets for these automatic weapons would be expensive. Bullets use metal, so iron would again be the most obvious material. 1 iron would craft 8 bullets, or 8 bullet casings. If you are wondering how all this would work if they only need one iron, a small selection window would pop up to select what you want to craft.
Bullets would simply be the bullet, gunpowder, and casing alligned vertically in the workbench.
The magazine would be:
= magazine half
= bullet
This would be one clip of 7 bullets.
The barrel would be 3 iron horizontally across in the workbench. The magazine and barrel would be the only 2 required items. The rest would be non-gravity affected blocks. The gun would be crafted using only those 2 items, and one non-gravity affected block. These 3 can be arranged in anyway, and the model of the gun would resemble this configuration.
Clips won't stack, and they would only reload from your hotbar (balancing reasons).
The majority of players (the ones with any common sense) dislike the idea of firearms, and Notch is already opposed to them. So, nope, sorry. No guns. Get the mod.

I don't like the general concept of modern firearms, because of balancing reasons, but this is a sandbox game where your encoraged to do a lot of things in a creative way... so customizable balanced guns seemed possible.
I kinda expected more "I hate guns" than "this isn't balanced" anyways... but oh well.

And guns have been suggested SO MANY TIMES before.
And you didn't really explain what guns would be so useful for.
We ALREADY CAN shoot hostile mobs.

"Minecraft: The undead, walking skelatons, giant spiders, fictional creatures, hell, and automatic firearms"
Minecraft is a sandbox game... so customizable anything seems in the theme.
P.S. We have gunpowder ya know.
Gunpowder is for making a simple explosive, sand + powder + a string. Not a barrel, trigger function, bullet, gunpowder cartridge, automatic gas powered system, reload, sight, device thingy.
Notch said no guns, a flintlock is a gun. Also, because a caveman can create a tube of iron that won't blow up in his hands... We have flint and steel, we have a bow and arrow. All we need are one time use crossbows that have to be crafted to reload for long range and such. Crossbows came before guns and were still more reliable than the guns of that time. We have Sulfur to make TNT, thats it.

Notch said no guns, but he has been known to change his mind. Also, because a caveman can create sturdy strips of metal and attach them to wooden boards with iron nails, thereby making minecart tracks... We have Steel doors with redstone-activated locking mechanisms, we have a semi-auto bow that is basically a single texture pack away from being very low-range gun. All we need are bows that have durability and crossbows that have to be crafted to reload for long range and such. Guns came before minetracks and became one of the most influential weapons in the world. Notch has Sulfur to make whatever he damn well pleases, the game is in beta and therefore rather flexible until 11/11/11.
Must I say fix'd?

Minecraft doesn't have a defined theme to fit with, I personally never thought I'd see wolves and super creepers, but here they are, and they certainly fit the theme.
"Minecraft: The undead, walking skeletons, giant spiders, ficional creatures, hell, flintlock pistols, and minetracks (What were you even talking about, no one here is even CONSIDERING automatic firearms)
Gunpowder is for making an explosive that can be activated via the pressure of a punch, but not by several dozen cubic meters of sand falling upon it, sand + powder +STRING. (Protip: there is string in TNT's recipe). What's so hard about a barrel (Pardon my Latvian, but its a ****ing cylinder. You revoke your right to post if you call it complex), trigger function (likely no more complex than the trigger mechanism in a lighter), bullet casing (likely just a rectangle), none of the modern ******** that you listed, but that no one is suggesting, and manual reload.
FIX'D
Plus, everyone is complaining about how hard it is to make a gun, but they are ignoring the skill, patience, and raw strength to carve and fletch and string a bow that lasts so damn long. This is ignoring the obvious use of magic to make the string semi-automatic. Lets not forget that it takes a mere instant to craft FOUR arrows from 1 stick and a single feather. What is he doing, dividing the feather? You realize 1 of those sticks is the length of a sword hilt? How could you break that into four pieces and still have enough wood for anything more than a large dart?
I'll tell you why, because that would over complicate the process. So don't over complicate the process. Don't say its too hard to make guns when you make bread and cake without an oven, though putting the wheat into a furnace isn't that crazy.
And don't presume to know the theme of minecraft unless you are the one coding the official game. Now, any other complaints against guns.

Tell me of you like it, because I will post a more detailed thread of this if enough people like the idea.
So your opposed to even flintlocks?
Opposed to any gun more advanced than a crossbow.
Because?
Taming Spiders!
