In Canada, Anything that fire a projectile over 500 feet per second is a firearm. Hence, bows and most pellet guns are not firearms - but muzzle loaders are.

Added; (in the US) Under 18 USC (921) & (922) they are classified as "ANTIQUE" firearms, and are exempt from most firearm laws. Antique Firearms are those manufactured prior to 1899, or arms that use only loose powder and ball (no matter what age the gun is).
