You could use the flintlock aesthetic, but replace the firing mechanism with a dust shot mechanism, like what I did with one of my weapons. Rather than having to load gun powder and bullets in, the user loads the dust in (via hand cartiridges so they're not pouring the dust in in the middle of battle), and then pulls the trigger. Half-depression charges the shot, full depression fires it.
