Elves may be masterful artists, but nobody can beat dwarves in the field of metalwork.
Dwarven rifles are probably incredibly valuable generational heirlooms for shorter-lived species, and for the dwarves themselves their guns are lifelong companions.

The counterpoint to Elven engineering would be dwarves, of course, who would feature heavier and more powerful firearms that make up for a lack of artistry, with sheer technical expertise. Not exactly comfortable to wield or shoot, but incredibly effective and accurate.

I always figure elven weapon should be a combination of those two ideas, favoring the former: swooping curves and intricate engravings or design, but not so much as to impede the weapon's purpose. A rifle would probably very ergonomic and lightweight, whilst also appearing artisanal in nature.
