Imo D&D and firearms simply does not work thanks to bloated HP.

Only if you treat hit points as wound points, but in that case no weapons or magic makes much sense.

Doesn't change that someone with a ranged weapon past the first few levels has no chance to kill someone before he reaches melee range. Thats especially problematic with archaic guns with long reload times.

No more problematic than playing an archer.

Being beheaded by a greatsword doesn’t kill you in one blow either, but I wouldn’t suggest you try it in real life. That’s just D&D.

Yes, but the point of a ranged weapon, especially one with a slow reload, is to kill the enemy before he can reach you. In D&D that is not possible, completely changing the role and purpose of guns.

And the point of a sword is to stab someone and kill them in a single blow. In D&D that is not possible, completely changing the role and purpose of swords.

Getting beheaded or impaled isn’t better than being shot. It’s just how damage works in D&D.

Will be interesting to check out. A lot of my Firearm needs in 5E are already met via Mercer's Gunslinger and Iron Kingdom Requiem 5E, but it never hurts having options.
