In A Curious Thing, Hook fends off the flying monkeys with an old fashioned flintlock pistol. But there should be nothing that advanced in the Enchanted Forest, no early form of gun has ever been shown; and Hook didn't recognize the gun in 2.11. So my theory is that after Regina brought everyone back to the EF in 3.11, some people that lived in Storybrooke must have remembered how guns work (and some people could have worked in a gun shop in SB and know how to build them). So with EF's limited resources, some flintlock pistols (along with musket balls) were made and Hook acquired one.
