1: Many monsters seem to indicate that it has been a very long time since a human (IE: the Seventh Human) has come through.

2: The Seventh Human, the most recent human to come through is armed with an "antique" revolver and a cowbody hat, and is therefore indicated to come from the Old West. By that standard, given that the events of Undertale take place from the 80s to the modern day, the most recent human fell about 100 years ago.

Doesn't account for VCR tech.

Also, 2 is easily explained. Some kid takes his conservative dad's country hat and revolver pistol for a spin. Climbs the mountain to shoot things, likely animals. Falls underground. Encounters monsters and is either young enough or intelligent enough to not shoot to kill, or not to shoot at all. After all, it isn't right to kill friendly people who did not harm you. It is only Justice  to shoot in self defense. Tis a Christian virtue. The reason the gun is empty is because he used it on Asgore or somebody else who attacked him. He likely missed or the bullets didn't do shit.

Plus, if the date Asgore was crowned really was as early as 1774 and as late as 1802, Agore would have still be an FNG King by the time revolver pistols came around and fell Underground. It's likely that, to a Kingdom that prefers tradition and the obsolete for the sake of honor and compassionate battle wouldn't give guns much of a chance. To them, an 1885 and a Raging Bull would be identical.

Alternatively the easier answer is to assume that they didn't have much exposure to firearms and so thought that because two pistols have a revolving chamber they must be old, because Cowboys. The pistol itself could very well be misappraised. And considering whose hands it, like, totally fell into...?
