[ If they could remember it, or knew at all what Ogata was thinking- well, he's not wrong. In a way. ]
... Someone was actually short-sighted enough to think that would *work*?
[ Priorities! Even they knew to leave the damn thing on land in Lyrabar. ]
It's not a hobby of mine by any means, but the Head insisted that I learn regardless. Something about about not knowing what I was doing meant I was only a nuisance in a pinch I didn't really understand or care at the time, but... well, here we are.
Anyway. It's one of a set of four, *technically*, as each was a slightly different model with their own unique changes and quirks. The one I have is a 1894 that was modified to resemble an older rifle.
[ Everything they remember about _____ is static and dust and yet the rants remain. It'd be infuriating - and worrying - if it wasn't something they might need to keep track of. ]
Additionally, the ammunition it uses was also altered. Garfield-san sells the .45 Long Colt rounds the Head preferred at home, but I believe it can also fire .410 shotgun shells.
[ And that's why everyone just calls it a shotgun instead. Good grief. ]

I can't believe I pranked us both into having to do gun research
He was very stupid. Lucky for him he's hard to kill, thats why they called him Immortal Sugimoto.
[Anyway. Enough about his Blackcrush. It's Gun Time.]
It makes sense to me. In some ways a person with a gun that doesn't know how to use it is more dangerous than someone who does. You could have accidentally discharged or loaded the weapon improperly, causing it to jam. Among many other things. It would have endangered you and your family.
I know old man Hijikata used a 1873 model. Yours is probably similar to his if it's modified to resemble an older Winchester. It is the gun that "won the west," after all. The .44-40 rounds it's chambered for were massively popular in the American West because they could also be used in revolvers.
The .45 Long Colt is a decent preference, I suppose. He wanted a classic looking gun with a lot of stopping power behind it. People almost always seem to prioritize that over accuracy. They decide it's too much work to learn how to shoot accurately over long distances and then don't bother making guns to do it. The 6.5-50 rounds in my Type 38 may be half the size of yours, but they'll hit their mark from much farther away.
