Total War: Shogun 2

Tanegashima

The main gun you'll see in the game is the Tanegashima, a Japanese matchlock arquebus. This gun is the only Japanese firearm made for the next couple of centuries and is used by the in-game Ashigaru units as well as Portuguese Missionaries.

Total War: Shogun 2 — Fall of the Samurai

Total War: Shogun 2 — Fall of the Samurai is an expansion pack for the game that sets it in the late 1800's and adds quite a lot of firearms to the game.

Smith & Wesson Model 2

The Smith & Wesson Model 2 is added with this expansion pack and usually seen with officers and was also used by the Foreign Veteran agent during the campaign. A unit called the "Revolver Cavalry use this particular model.

Pattern 1861 Enfield Musketoon

Most of the line infantry-type, levy infantry-type, and skirmisher-type units (with the exception of Tosa Riflemen) in Fall of the Samurai used the Pattern 1861 Enfield Musketoon. Units like the Shinsengumi, Yugekitai, and the foreign-recruited U.S. Marines use this particular model. Oddly enough, they use the same gun albeit with different ranges depending on the unit stats.

Snider-Enfield rifle

The British Snider-Enfield Rifle is used by more elite troops, usually by the Imperial/Shogunate/Republican Infantry unit, the Kihetai, and the foreign-recruited Royal Marines.

Chassepot 1866 bolt action rifle

The French Chassepot 1866 rifle is the most powerful rifle in the game commonly used by more elite units like the Imperial/Shogunate/Republican Guard Infantry and by the foreign-recruited Infanterie de Marine. Due to their fast firing rate in-game, they have a tendency to run out of ammo very quickly particularly when in Kneel Fire mode.

Gatling Gun

The Gatling Gun is also in the game and can be used as an area-denial unit. It's also being used in the the "Monitor" U.S.S. Roanoke but can only fire broadside. It can be the most lethal weapon against enemy crewmen during Naval Combat in Fall of the Samurai. This was the first-time an automatic weapon was introduced in the Total War series.
