Gun cotton is easy (though dangerous) to make at the level of technology prevalent in RQ.

Or just make them rifled flintlocks rather than smoothbores. If sixshooters and MGs are too high-tech for you, search the Internet for info on primitive gunpowder weapons. Multiple flintlock pistols (even some with multiple barrels) would be available. I prefer the search engine at www.google.com myself.
As an aside, for a real-world example of dwarf tech, check out the following:

If you don't like gunpowder weapons, then just add a bound air elemental to a dwarf rifle and you get the following:

Yep. Look at the RQ3 rules on attacking w/o weapons.
