But with guns another issue comes up which seems to be never mentioned or described in the text. Almost all of the shots that had to have happened in Umineko would be point blank in terms of forensics, and those normally involve extensive powder burns on clothes and skin, and if you shoot someone by directly putting your weapon to their skin, a very visible 'stamp' will remain.

I'm afraid artistic license is the only reasonable way out here.
Unless the wounds are just covered in blood and no one tries to poke around in there...

Plus, we can't really be sure about the range the shots were fired at. If someone is a good enough shot, it shouldn't be impossible to hit someone in the chest from across the room, even with a sawed off.
