A Flintlock version of the Tanegashima, in particular this one is from a timeline in which Toyotomi Hideyoshi managed to successfully managed to conquer Korea, thus sparking an age of Japanese Colonialism through the 1600s and 1700s, including the conquest of Hawaii, New Zealand, Australia, Siberia, Alaska, OTL British Colombia, the Philipines (which they took from Spain in the Great Pacific War of 1689-1693), Washington and Oregon. Several times the Japanese clashed with the Spanish and the Dutch. Bayonets modeled on the Yari were employed. This model was produced in the 1640s through about 1700, after replacing the matchlock mechanism with the more reliable and less water sensitive flintlock system. Latter versions would employ stocks.
