You're definitely right... afaik cannons were invented during the late 15th or in the 16th century; at least some time after rifles appeared for the first time. And since gun powder was discovered in Europe during the 15th century (in China it was known much earlier), Gothic has to be settled before that.
But then, it's a fantasy game (as Neo_Genesis already mentioned), taking place in a fantasy realm at a time not exactly defined. 
Finally, I want to state that I really dislike the presence of gun powder in the game in any form - it disturbs that great medieval spirit...

Interesting thought... 
Anyway, I don't like those cannons at all!
The only thing preventing the cannons in GII from being totally annoying is that you can't use 'em.
