That was nice.

Remember to pick up the guns afterwards though. Aside from it's a waste, it's a risky thing to have them reverse-engineered by whoever recovers them.
Back in chpt. 11 Ike went out of his way to save the dwarves because they’re the only ones with sufficient capabilities to craft the guns (it’s kind of ridiculous, I know), so that might be why he was fine with it....
Though, I would tie the guns with a rope to the horses or riders’ belts or something.

I was under the impression that the length of the barrel had little to do with rain tolerance. The firing mechanism getting damp, on the other hand...
This is a good point and it got me doing a bit of a research, which presumably what the author and artist did as they whip up the story to picture the gun. I did find that some flintlock pistols are water resistant, assuming of course this article on Wikipedia is accurate.

I noticed the same, but my understanding was that that was about specific duelling pistols in comparison to other pistols, not long guns. They had a more refined trigger mechanism to increase reliability and reduce delay between pulling the trigger and the shot firing. I also found some other source that mentioned waterproofing, but again, that was on the firing mechanism, and had nothing to do with the barrel.

Yeah, the thing about the barrel has me going "wut" as well.

Now, if they said that the short barrels were because they were for the cavalry, then yeah, that'd make perfect sense. You can't really use long-arms to any real effect on horseback unless the horse is standing perfectly still. Which is definitely not the case here.

I think the author/manga-ka got their notes mixed up, literally.

EDIT: Or the translator got something wrong, maybe?

A "normal chapter length", yet it felt so short. :lul:

Thank you so much for the translation.
