The number of firearms incidents recorded by police decreased by almost a third in a year to a record low, according to official figures.
The reduction of 32% took the total from 535 in 2011-12 to 365 last year.
The figure is the lowest since records began in 1980, the Scottish Government said.
Police cleared up 66% of all offences alleged to involve guns last year, down 5% from the previous year. Injuries and deaths from firearms fell from 95 to 66. Guns were involved in one killing in 2012-13, compared with five in the previous year.
Attempted murders, serious assaults and robberies involving a firearm also decreased.
Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill said: "Today's figures show excellent progress is being made to tackle the scourge of crime involving firearms in Scotland and I am delighted that the downward trend is continuing."
Air guns accounted for almost half of all offences, down slightly from 197 to 171.
In the final year of the regional police forces, Strathclyde recorded the largest proportion of firearms offences with 163, followed by Lothian and Borders where 79 were recorded.
