While I guess people have some idea of the damage that a Glock 17 or a similar modern gun would do, a fifteenth century matchlock pistol is quite a different thing. And Iām sure most players would understand the difference.

But then there is no point in castles. If I expect castles, there are no reliable gunpowder weapons
This has ninjas fighting on a viking ship on the cover. Of course there will be anachronisms and logical inconsistencies in fantasy RPGs. If gunpowder makes castles obsolete, then so do fireballs.
Pirates aren't an invention of the 17th century. Likely the second ship that was built by mankind was a pirate one. And they had to cope without gunpowder for thousands of years. But the pop culture background we're working on suggests pirates using the stuff.
Even the combination of gunpowder and castles might make an interesting game. Let the PCs drag a 15th century bombard with a weight of 6 tons through the rain on muddy roads to the next castle and see if the castle becomes obsolete.

With the generic fantasy kitchen sink systems you usually get a mix of various historic cliches. From the "roman empire" to vikings to high medieval knights to renaissance city states to pirates. And classic pirate movie pirates absolutely need gunpowder. Maybe they haven't found a way to turn gunpowder into a hand weapon, but the big cannons are a must have. :)
