An old-timey, colonial era pistol would fit nicely in the game, IMO. Minecraft seems to be in a bizarre time-period that has powered minecart tracks, pseudo-electricity, and record players, but the player can only use bows made of wood and twine to hurt enemies from afar. Seeing as the bow's kind of wimpy and poor old Minecraft Steve needs some ranged variety, I'm suggesting this.

(Sprites made by me. My pistol made a cameo in that one Minegunner mod.) Mechanics
The pistol has a fire rate of about 1/6 of the bow. It has a capped fire rate, so no machine pistol action. It kills enemies in about 2 shots, but it consumes one Ball and one unit of Gunpowder (so you'd better get your hands drenched in creeper blood if you want to fire more than 2 shots). The pistol also degrades with each shot due to it's easy to get materials, packing about 60 shots in before it busts open. I don't want to introduce any gobbledegook about repairing or gunmaking benches, so the gun just breaks like any tool. Two uses are taken from the pistol for each block you destroy with it. The gun sometimes misfires like all old-fashioned guns should, resulting in the pistol losing a fourth of it's total durability and hurting the player (if the player is near death, the gun will keep them at half a heart). This painful misfire happens about 1/50 of the time.
Does your suggestion help improve gameplay? Not really, we have rapidfire bows for this, and I can easily see this wreaking Minecraft's atmosphere. 6/10
Is this suggestion creative/original? Nope. Guns have been suggested before. You didn't search. If you had,you'd know we all hate things like this, and you might also notcie a 100 page thread on a GOOD was to balance guns. This thread is against the rules. No. 2/10
Did the OP put effort into this suggestion? Only a bit. You didn't search, which makes this against the rules (Double posting) and on top of that this suggestion isn't even that good. Just use a mod for goodness sake! 4/10
Extras: -1 for breaking rules
Final Score: 3/10
Virdict: No. Go post on the mod threads or other gun threads.
I wanna support the idea but your limiting yourself so
Much
If I wanted something for range and I a choice between this and a bow then screw the pistol
Too much time and effort for possible misfire or even a hit because people can spray with the bow and kill an enemy with it
With this you'd have to be precise and blablahblah work work work
