Yea, the author clearly has a hardon for guns.

It’s finally almost time, let’s do it to it! Allen somehow managed to acquire a literal money printer lol! He got a neat sword which hopefully he uses as a cover for his guns, and then there are those rings of his. He’s really stacking the deck in his favor, hopefully this is enough, we don’t know how powerful the prince is after all, but Allen has achieved so much in such little time, it’s really quite impressive.

It takes skill to survive in the situations he keeps throwing himself into, no matter the power of the weapon, if you don’t know what you’re doing, you’ll wind up dead after all.

Actually, I very much doubt that's the case. Otherwise, he would have noticed how utterly nonsensical it is for an aeronautical engineer (a japanese one at that) to "just know" how to create firearms (and fully automatic on top of that). Gunsmithing is not something you can just pull out of your ass.

Anyway, I stopped taking the writing seriously the moment I saw the AK (and the cockpit-less "glider"), so whatever. Everything happens so conveniently for MC that I'm honestly amazed he isn't drowning in pussy already.

next is pulse railgun

This artist got me worried how he shokugeki no soma's the kid all the time.

I agree there would have been better route especially if they wanted to have guns. They need to have Allen be over confident and get hurt or realize the weight of all that ammo is heavy, or have malfunctions. They need limitations or they become I win buttons.

The manga fails to mention from the web novel that Allen has visited Russia and East asian countries to shoot and learn about the guns.

Wonder how valuable those blizzard Phoenix feathers are?

 

[Latte10]

I get it gun so powerful.

But I think his fighting experience is very lackluster. Wondered when he will realized that

 

[SalvySaroj]

Even though his prep work going full on, it's kinda good to see... Nice
Thanks for TL.
Keep it up.

I see that yet again, people are forgetting the fact that he’s just using wind magic and compressed air and stuff to mimic guns, rather than making the proper firearms accurately to their actual real world design. They don’t have the same components, he doesn’t need to understand how they’re made perfectly, it’s essentially a really powerful magical blowgun made to look like the guns being mentioned because it’s cool. Thats it.

I'm still reading this since it's 'good enough' (I have low standards), but IMO it definitely started out better. Then in chapter 6 we got "btw, I just happened to be an aeronautical engineer so I can make jets with my super convenient alchemy skill", because reasons?

Now it's basically Gun-Ota with better art and no harem. I'm not sure the author had a plan for where the story was going.

EDIT: Whelp, I just caught up (ch.34 as of this post), and it gets a lot better again. Less gun porn and more getting back on track with the main plot and character growth.

Lol is that seafoam island in pokemon

 

[Zarabas]

Nah I'm dropping this, if I wanted guns I wouldn't be reading a fantasy manga. Fantasy monsters should be way stronger than this.

 

[iskelets8]

The nude ero shots of this guy is really concerning. On the verge of dropping it

So this aeroengineer is just intimately familiar with the inner workings of various russian firearms to the point that he can recreate them in both form and function even though the actual inner workings are completely different?
Yeah sure whatever you could have just told us that he can craft whatever he imagines
Whats the point of adding restrictions if you are just gonna ignore them smh

I actually think the answer is simpler than that. I think with the alchemy skill form follows function. If you literally had to have the exact knowledge it would require to build the thing the normal way, it being a magical skill would be rather pointless. Even saying the blueprints have to be clear and all that I don't think was ever about them having to be identical to what a non-magical version of the item was, but simply that they had to kind of make sense in form and the magic would fill in the blanks.

His glider for example doesn't actually work in reality. Magic is doing half the work. I'd imagine the guns are the same but he visualized them LOOKING like Russian firearms he knew (why all russian?) for whatever reason. It would have made more sense if the artist had made the guns more non-descript the way the glider is though and just maybe had the kid imagine AKs and Saigas to explain their general function.

streets are saying yes that he also likes russian guns in the wn which was omitted from the manga

Does urban fantasy not ring a bell though I argue that more primitive guns can be integrated into regular fantasy but JP writers are stupid and lazy. There's lots of potential for magical projectile weapons.
