I don't think dwarves should be able to craft firearms by default. The only exception I can think of is things like cannon and perhaps things like fire lances, hand bombards, and their ilk. I'd agree that precision is a tricky concept and I don't think they'd have enough for making handguns but screw-pumps are a fair example of dwarven precision.

You can make a screw pump in your own home using a soda bottle, a wooden dowel, some glue, and a sheet of paper.  Great for pumping popcorn around.

For pumping water you'd use sheets of stiff plastic instead.  Seriously, the tolerance on screw pumps is huge.

Fire as a defense, torches that keep wild animals away and blind cave creatures not used to bright light.

Medicine, take a ground up cow skull, add a rotten dimple cup and Mrs Urist will be preggers by tomorrow.  (Kind of covered by Alchemy)

I know I've a simple bought one on my desk. The thing is that a dwarf can safely pump huge quantities of both magma and water without any leaking. I realise the pump rate is ridiculous, magma isn't realistic, and that they are simplified for gameplay reasons but I just felt like being a bit pedantic in claiming they are an example of dwarven precision. I agree with G-Flex really.
