** Much of the story details the Chinese soldiers’ use of (somewhat anachronistic) flintlock weapons imported from Europe. Even commoners find it easy to get ahold of pistols and muskets, and the warrior monks often find themselves at a loss when their years of training with kung fu aren’t enough against bullets.
** Hok also realizes the medical side of this when she helps treat wounded characters. While she’s more than prepared to deal with cuts and dislocated limbs, she’s stymied by the fact that the bullets just tear straight through people, leaving holes and splintering bones.
