What are some actual weapons that operate akin to this?
Breech loading matchlock, looks like.
I bet the Japanese had something like this at some point, they got real creative with their matchlocks and had a horizontal revolving one at one point, but it's hard to find images on anything super unique.
Also matchlock/wheel lock thread.

I was hoping for actual models of Asian matchlocks. Something I can look into with a name, akin to "Teppo" or "Pill lock carbine"

Eboshi did nothing wrong.

The name you're looking for is tanegashima, although I don't think I've ever seen one with Eboshi's mechanism specifically.

When everything is artisan made, or at best knocked up in some tiny cottage workshop, there is no model name because there is no standardised design.

there is several whole scenes and lines of dialog in the movie about making the guns lighter.

sorry, i'm not a very good communicator, i meant it was a common design for ship mounted swivel guns but there were very few rifle versions. the few know were unique showcase pieces, Philip V's for example.
