[There’s a few seconds where Ogata just looks at her askance, where his instinct to not get too chatty and friendly kicks in. But, really, it’s just shop talk and guns is one of very fee topics he feels comfortable speaking at length about.]

That’s not an entirely incorrect comparison...
[He pulls out his bullet case and extracts one. Again, he holds it out enough for Farnese to inspect but not to touch.]

This is a bullet cartridge. You load these into the gun. Pulling the trigger strikes the percussion cap at the back here, which ignites the gunpowder inside. That supplies the explosive force to fire the bullet, just like how a cannon would work.

[He pauses, then the faint smile on his face shifts into something of a condescending smirk on his face.]
Of course, the size and speed of a bullet makes it a far more accurate and efficient weapon than a cannon.
