Industry my friend.
Besides early smokeless powder still had some issues. Notably it was too strong for mist pistol cartridges which used gunpowder up until true centerfire cartridges were the norm.

I'm sorry, but I'm calling bull. Industry needs to snowball before you start getting that kind of rapid technological evolution. Going from high medieval to high industrial revolution (over three hundred years in our timeline) in less than 30 makes zero sense at all.
Black powder at most for softbore muzzle-loading firearms would be the most anyone could hope for, in my mind. Your character seems grossly out of place, being a wild west gunslinger in a medieval fantasy...
It's up to the GM, but a pepperbox musket at most would be my verdict...
So is this just a problem with my character or with the very idea of rapid development of technology.
Keep in mind that many archaic weapon systems coexisted with more advanced systems for centuries. Heck smoothbore muskets are still a popular hunting system.

Is both not an option?
Unless they experienced a kind of technological singularity, they wouldn't develop gunpowder, especially smokeless, in 18 years. I urge you to keep in mind that there wasn't even a cannon seen in the previous story, so having a Henry repeater show up without any lead-up makes zero sense. Not only is it imbalanced for the other players, but it just feels out of place and inappropriate for the world's current state.
I'll go so far as to redact my statement about a pepperbox. If there is going to be firearms, it should be old-school black powder, cast iron canister grenades, and the ye olde "handgonne"
As it stands, its like trying to bring a Remington pump-action into Albion 20 years after Arthur bit the dust.
As for your character, he just feels like an excuse to have guns.
I told Derp he will need to explain a bit more about the weapon and state that it is in process of testing it out, but I'm okay with it.
I'm interested though was not here for the first one.
Welcome aboard, Meg
It's okay if you were not in the first 3 RPs, so no worries, I'll make sure that the world is develop as we go, explaning stuff as we go.
I also plan to do review of the old RPs at some point to explain a little of what happened.
Also be sure to check this group to get more information (I will keep updating the group as we go)
There were three previously O.O *is now afraid of what I agreed to*
Join us Meg, it will be fun!
There's nothing more deadly than slow growing fear...
