That's been an obvious suggestion since they melted Amy. Does "flesh" burn? The question is, if he "needs" to die sufficiently he's prepared to pull such a wicked stunt on the others, would the main people being tricked (e.g. The Silence, who we know were present) be fooled by flesh? And, especially if it was the flesh, they've used flesh before.
My (just thought of it) money is on: it was the real Doctor who died, in full view of the Silence. In the episode finale we'll get some VERY complicated SM-penned timey-wimey which lets him defeat the Silence, rescue Melody, kiss River and stop himself being killed. Which means, just like the Saturday morning cliff-hangars, look for a different viewpoint on what we think we've seen happen.

Or the episode 'Dalek' he did carry a gun but didnt use it.
Besides, i got the impression and i think River confirmed it during hers and the Doctors scan of the empty suit in Day of the Moon, that the suit had inbuilt weapons for preotection - frm watching the scene of the Doctors death i think the 'gun' was just embedded into an arm of the suit, so splitting hairs i know, but its not technically a gun, just like the TARDIS is a Time-Travelling wonder thats sentient but to the Daleks its a weapon, and has been used as such, for instance, it was used as a battering ram to break the Time walls in 'The Girl who Waited'
