Let's check the ole Wiki... "Around the late 14th century in Europe, smaller and portable hand-held cannons were developed, creating in effect the first smooth-bore personal firearm". I think 14th century qualifies as medieval times, era on which most of the fantasy is based.
Nor is ROM free of mechanical contraptions in general. Guardians are plenty mechanical. There are other "anachronisms", too. That Memory Core in Xaviera, that is not just a mechanical contraption, that is a mechanical contraption controlled by what we in modern times see as computer code.
Meh... Dwarves are pretty much set as mechanically advanced race. Contraptions, such as guns, are no big deal for them. Now, if they show up with phasers or even AK-47s, one can start raising objections.
