Well, not 100% firearms...more like pre-firearm technology.
Trebuchets, ballistas, catapults and similar siege weapons can easily demonstrate projectile motion. Scale models can consist of popsicle stick models that sit in the palm of your hand launching little balsa wood beads, to larger tabletop models that launch ping pong balls or similar, and go bigger from there. Smaller scale ones are completely harmless and fun for all ages.
The basic sience can be explained with simple algebra, but at age 9, it wouldn't exactly be the right level of mathematics. However you can still use visual aids and introduce general concepts of gravity and parabolic flight to describe the basic idea without getting into the algebra itself.
A popular demo was getting people to guess what would happen when you dropped a projectile and shot one horizontally at the same time. Since horizontal velocity has no bearing on time in flight, they both hit the ground at the same time.
You can also incorporate the history of siege weapons, early rocketry, muskets, to the modern firearm as substance since a science fair on projectile motion without the math is a bit thin.
That's the best idea I can think of for a science fair project that is ballistics related, of the proper grade level, and not scary for the general public.
