While this article deals mostly with odd ball deaths of the period, they may be useful for coloring conversations or back stories.   Of specific interest is how the gun was such a strange and still new item:

“3. The first time a coroners' court came up against the new-fangled problem of a fatal shooting accident was 1519, when a woman in Welton near Hull was accidentally killed by a handgun.

The perpetrator was a bookbinder from France, called with dazzling Tudor wit, Peter Frenchman. The victim, not understanding this noisy gadget, had walked in front of the gun as it had been fired.”
