Will we be able to eventually make factories?

Have you decide how old our sisters are?

How educated is our protagonist?

How is Sakomoto even getting these foreign books and knowledge?

Do geese exist in Japan?

Will we meet the ancestors to one Irish-American madlad actor?

Most of the time unless we affect it through our actions. We should be on the path of history.

Yes and that will actually be multiple workshops that will be there.

If we were in modern times, with what his father taught him, he would be close to a chemical and engineering prodigy. With his imagination he can potentially be a very well known and well respected arms designer.

That is actually me handwaving some things.

Well the influx of forign books started happening later but due to rewards from omakes, they flooded in more… sooner.

matchlock and percussion is not that different mechanically and it's more a matter if miki remembers how to make the primers used in the ammo he made for the Henry.

He remembers but that does not mean he will be able to replicate the process his father did.

No there will not be a traditional one.

There will however be… Fire arms tales that act as stories to increase reputation.

You joke but making a double barrel is very… simple. In theory of course with the tools currently

Like it's a smooth bore with very few components and complex parts. Made of only wood and steel.

The only thing difficult about mass production is the shells.

technically speaking even the shells are easy to make since its for a shotgun, the shell itself does not need to really exist, just durable enough to hold the gunpowder and then the whatever roundish scraps you put in on the other side.

Yeah if you are going to sell a double barrel to the samurai or anyone and shells are shit… that just won't help you.
 
Besides ammo, the most next most difficult part of building a double-barrel shotgun, or any sort of modern shotgun would be the ignition system. We haven't developed primers yet so we'll have to do that first.

But I think it would be useful to develop shotguns as our first advance prototype weapon. The gun itself will be pretty simple. We can adapt the barrel and stock from existing matchlocks. We can also developed a breach system form the bolt-action system that we prototyped. As stated previously, the hard parts would be the ammo and ignition system but that can be overcome.

So yeah, our first proper modern gun will be a bolt-action single-shot shotgun.

Edit:
Modern example of a bolt-action tube-magazine shotgun.

Does Japan have brass? Besides paper cartridges, brass cartridges were the most common shotgun shells before plastic shells were invented.
