This seems like an unnecessary archetype. The DMs guide has rules for guns in chapter 9, the artificer comes complete with gun smithing and firearms proficiency. The Artillerest archetype in the artificer class covers a veriaty of other weapons. I play a goblin artificer with a pistol. Pistols sacrifice range and bonus actions for a d10 damage vs a d8. If you spend the down time and gold you could get this weapon for any class. A Ranger with firearms instead of a bow. But I get it you want to roleplay something unique. So go for it.
