Hmm...

When they examined the goblins, they correctly identified the type of wounds.
But didn't find any projectiles, which is why they presumed magic was involved.
At the time I just assumed the bullets had completely passed through the bodies, and not been recognized amongst the debris.
Now, in that his equipment fades out of existence shortly after leaving his control [no problem leaving it on the table, as it was still 'his', but when someone else picked it up, it faded away], did the bullets just vanish shortly after impact?

This does mean he can't become an arms merchant, or equip companions with his weaponry.
However, does gunpowder work in this world if mixed from its constituent parts locally? In other words, is the chemical reaction allowed under this world's physics?
If so, it would still be possible to develop a local arms industry, by making their own gunpowder, and going from there; it would still be possible to look at the components of his weaponry so long as he was the one to disassemble it, and hold it in the positions requested by the craftsmen so that they could examine them. While they might not be able to replicate the precise items he has, this should provide enough understanding to allow them to design weaponry within their tech base.

That does presume he has knowledge concerning the composition of gunpowder. If all his experience is from games, he might not have a clue about that.
It's definitely not something that gets discussed in any Isekai that I've read, quite unlike the Science Fiction that I've read over the years in the US, where reasonable summations of the process of producing black powder were quite common in the time travel and trans-temporal stories published in the 1960s and 1970s.

Of course, one of the standard things was that in worlds where magic worked, gunpowder didn't. Although, Roger Zelazny dealt with that quite nicely by having his protagonist accidentally discover another compound that would explode in a sufficiently similar manner to do the job.

@Weasalopes quite a few isekais have started touching on gunpowder, but many of them are non-mmo related, which is a shame :/ would be interesting to see that premise unfold in a medieval-style mmo context

The thing with the bullets disappearing reminds me of one of my favorite (dumb) things you can change in Skyrim with console commands or mods: whether arrows in a person's body disappear quickly or not. If you just unload a ton of arrows in some protected NPC after fiddling with that, you can turn them into a ridiculous walking pin cushion and they act like nothing ever happened. Good for a laugh every now and then.

@Weasalopes
It's... kinda all over the place. Later chapters show shell cases flying all over the place and empty magazines. It could be that the bullets that killed the goblin just overpenetrated, were frangibles or the locals didn't know what the hell they were looking at. ("There's this weird lump of metal here that looks more like squashed potatoes than an arrowhead and there's no arrowshaft. Must be nothing.")

Realistically, so long as the system didn't pull any bullshit adapting logic, you could get away with a lot. Take your firearm, disassemble it and make sand castings from it and make multiple parts. Have craftsmen finish them individually piece-by-piece and assemble them together and keep handfitting them until they work. Hey, if it works for Taurus... That's... kinda a joke. I wish it wasn't...

If it's just the cause of he can't hand over something directly, it makes me wonder if you can't just take ammunition, pull the bullets, dump the powder and reuse it.
For that matter, what if he just took a gun and melted it down into a brick of very high quality carbon steel? If he handed that to a blacksmith, would it disappear?
I dunno about anyone else, but I'd try breaking the fuck out of this system by loopholes and workarounds.

 

[jimmyclear]

That takes care of the security. He doesn't have to worry about people stealing his stuff.

People of today maybe magicless/muggles, but what we lack in magic, we make up in tech.

illus on the mc started to change from bishoujo to bishounen

 

[mangadexcommentban]

She is clinging to him way too much, I find it really suspicious but it's the mc sidekick I guess...

 

[tonie]

The moment she grabs the gun I am like "Nonononononononono! 😱"
Don't point at anybody! xD

 

[Raudhbjorn]

@tonie you and me both brother.

@mangadexcommentban she was almost raped, tortured and killed by goblins. He saved her. She's entitned to a bit of clinginess. I'm just glad the author hasnt had her to to fuck the MC by now. Besides, her boss put him under her care.

@definitionofinsanity you're a man after my own heart.

 

[immortalartisan]

I remember reading an Iskaei which dealt with this and once he had gotten the parts it simply didn’t work like chemistry it’s self was different in that world. So yeah that was a moment

 

[JustHaremLover]

The moment she touched the gun, I thought to myself "IS THE BLOODY SAFETY ON?"

 

[blu_cc]

she really screaming "are you a noble person" out loud in a public area like its nothing

 

[StLL]

is she going to ignore that his gun just disappeared?

 

[MerchantMarx]

@StLL
maybe it went back to his inventory

 

[StLL]

@MerchantMarx
Yeah you're right, I think since it's a "bloodline" skill only he is able to use it and if someone else holds it doesn't work and returns back to him.

 

[JKingSniper]

Nice no one can use his weapons
