That, or everyone suddenly has the training that folks get in real life on how to disarm a gunman at close range. It definitely sounds like it might be best to extend "no magic" to "no magic and no magitek" for the Grindstone. Except in extenuating circumstances, of course (like Dogberry's legs).
That's about what I had in mind. There's also the fact that it's a martial contest, not a shooting range. Firing under duress is a different kind of skill than gladiatorial combat.

We have to consider things like muzzleflash, which is deadly in it's own right- distance, bullets used vs whatever it's actually hitting etc etc.
My conclusion is that we can't consider them any more or less deadly than anything else that exists.
Every weapon can kill you. Some of them do it a lot easier than others, though. Firearms have a very low skill requirement to murder someone, even by accident. It takes a bit more practice to know how to approach someone with a hafted weapon, or a short one.
