Of course they are still gonna want Hajime's guns for a prototype, but the idea is the important part. The gaps can be filled with their own solutions.

That's assuming that nobody else in the entire class even knows much beyond common knowledge. I find it hard to believe Hajime was the only one curious enough to know how they work.
I think the whole class might not know this common knowledge. Japan is a relatively peaceful society (maybe!) and the use of firearm is quite rare, it's not the USA where most house own gun.

I also notice the trend of anime and manga where young people with interest in guns are deemed otaku... Maybe it's abnormal there.
