This has been a very informative thread.
Since it is a fantasy world, I've always taken the whole "guns and bullets" thing rather light-heartedly. I can imagine normal civilians would have trouble surviving a bullet, but if yur character wears some good armour or have some awesome skills or magic, avoiding being hit by a bullet shouldn't be that much of a problem.
I mean, if a real-life samurai was/is able to avoid a bullet and cut it in half with his katana, I don't see why something like that can't happen in a fantasy setting.
