Thank you.

I wouldn't think so Vantique. Firstly it doesn't really look like any of the known examples of Surya Majapahit, where the sun symbol has pointy rays and there is lots of detail within. Secondly, while breechloading swivel guns were invented in the 14th century, i don't think anything quite like this was used during Mojopahit Java.
Here is an example of Surya Majapahit found in Javanese temples.
