Interesting wording here. She says she'll make a COPY of his body, SOUL AND MEMORIES. Meaning, that the him in the other world, is just a copy. And the real him, is dead. It's like the Star Trek Transporter all over again. What makes you, you?

Isn't that the case with most reincarnation / isekai unless they're directly teleported / magically brought otherwise ?
If they get hit with a truck, 'They'll be sent' 'Given a new life / chance' etc.
If they die, their soul is brought before a powerful being and sent to a new world with a body, that's depending on their pre-death age, not really the same.
If they're summoned by a portal or something, they're usually brought directly to the summoners.

Rifle had an affixed bayonet then immediately was going to fire an underbarrel grenade.. if the bayonet was still there I'm sure the user would have found the surprise inside.

I'd argue no. Simply because, again, the specific wording of "copy". They're not simply sending them to this other world, like most isekai genre do. They're creating a copy and sending it there. And not just a copy of their body. But a copy of their mind and soul. This is a world of magic, if a god like entity said they could send the original individual, their soul and mind, to another world. I wouldn't bat an eye. But since they're specifically sending a copy, that makes me curious. It makes me wonder, what happened to their original soul? Their original body is likely going to be cremated or buried. Their original mind, dead. But their original soul? Could you imagine a situation where the original soul might go to some form of after life, and yet a copy of it gets to live life in another world. Just fun to think about.

I like that they showed him biting his lip when he realised he couldn't say his goodbyes. I'm skeptical at best though his rifle didn't penetrate that ogre thing's head and pop it's brains. Also while the young girl lives she'd be traumatised for life with survivors guilt while also having seen someone hit by a truck (It's really not pretty)

ESKETIT MC

I think mc will adapt better in murim/wuxia considering he has the heart of a chivalrous warrior.

So the mc's cheat is "clothes, rations, backpack, and awkwardly shaped metal clubs that can be used as a rifle 30 times (or more, depending on how many mags are 'standard' to carry) before the only use is as inferior clubs"? Granted, better than nothing. But if I were to get a cheat I would much prefer something that lasts. Though as a story's gimmick, it is admittedly nicer than the standard trope where they have guns that they can magically use as much as they want somehow (either with actual magic, or somehow sourcing ammo in a stupid way)

No, most only copies the body, sometimes the memories (either unsaid if souls are real, or explicitly say they get a brand-new new soul but memories were copied over to it - these stories often end up with a twist that mc is actualyl still alive and about on earth, usually with no idea about the isekai'ing their copy received).
I have never seen one explicitly say the mc's soul is a copy (well that's false sorta, but in this context it is true. The "copy soul" ones I have seen aren't bogstandard isekai stories where they get to talk to a god before reincarnation, and the revelation is much later, or only given to reader at start and mc finds out much later, if ever. Or ones where it's not the mc at all), though I have seen ones where it is artificial and even copying/tracing fictional characters (though in those, the character themselves are not copies (inherited abilities and knowledge, not memories and values).

idk, as an American I like my guns but I just don't like seeing them in a fantasy world, it just feels wrong. Also that poor bunny girls ears, she should be deaf for sure.
