shotguns are one of the few kinds of publicly available guns in japan, lots of training and such to get a license, but entirely obtainable. that's probably why it was the weapon of choice here.

it makes more sense that this was a homemade weapon rather than one bought at a store, really, considering how rigorous the testing for firearms is in japan, yeah.
