I took this from the blizzard article announcing transmog:

 

Placing an item into the Transmogrifier interface will offer a preview of how the item will appear once the change is applied. However, not all item pairings are compatible with Transmogrification. In general, only items that have stats can be used in the transmogrification process. You must also be able to wear both items when using this service. Ethereals don’t have much in the way of ethics, but allowing someone to appear as if they’re equipping unusable items crosses the line. Similarly, they won’t allow you to change weapon or armor types. Sneaky death knights can’t make that breastplate look like a cloth robe, and you can’t make a one-handed axe look like a two-handed axe, or transform a sword’s appearance into that of a mace. Guns, bows, and crossbows will be the exception to this rule. You will finally be able to retain your dwarf’s racial gun bonus while appearing with all the splendor and elegance of a bow wielder (or at least the relative silence of one).

 

So it does sound like we can transmog a gun into a bow and enjoy the silence of the bow, which is really cool. Also, its cool that they're giving us more freedom since we are able to transmog our ranged weapons into any other ranged weapon, which can't be done with like a sword into a polearm. It's cool to have that freedom, but as its been stated it is only cosmetic, so if you have a gun and transmog it into a bow, it won't "become" a bow, meaning the racial bonuses will still be attached to it as a gun, and vice versa for bows into guns. So we can "silence" our guns or xbows that sound like guns!

Sweet! Thanks for proving me wrong Drach.

Anytime Tak!

Gar- we got room for one more!!

Niik- it is funny how they all turn out on time for the Brewfest activity, but look the other way when trying to get a team for For the Horde and what not lol, we are who we are!
