Well, the short answer is no, as the "Free Element" skill interacts with Bowguns differently, as it would apply "Ammo Up" instead. That said, I haven't played MH:W since before Iceborne was released. There is a chance that things might have changed since then. I couldn't say.
Interestingly enough, no. I felt that, despite all of the improvements that have been made to the game that eliminate the need to check outside the game for additional info, Hidden Elements and Free Element were not explained very well. I was just hoping to help clear up a potentially unclear topic. Nice guess, though. ;)
Having a higher level of free element will not impact the damage that blast does, just the rate at which it is applied, as Blast is considered a Status Ailment. It would basically be the difference between a 100 Blast weapon and a 300 Blast weapon. Both will inflict Blast, just the 300 Blast weapon will proc the effect quicker, and more frequently.
Can bowguns have hidden elements?

I'm assuming you had a heated conversation regarding Hidden Element and set out to prove a point?
