Have one of those somewhere here.Walther LP53 air pistol (break barrel spring piston single shot)
You got it. You're up.Japanese Tanegashima matchlock, introduced (first to the island of Tanegashima) in the mid 1500s by sailors from Portugal.
Widely adopted by the 17th century in Japan, it was adopted by the samurai, and used for an inordinately long time even when Europeans abandoned the matchlock in favor of more modern designs.
It has no butt stock ---basically just a raptor type pistol grip. Which is easier to use when wearing armor.
This is the long version with what looks like a 40 inch barrel; many of these were made with shorter barrels in the 20" range, and there are some handgun versions out there too.
