(@Longram) Eh, changes in management basically made them genocidal dickheads. Pretty much The Enclave two-point-oh. Now with 200 percent more feudalism!

Tried to get their grubby hands where they shouldn't have, bit off more than they could chew, aaaaand made themselves the wrong enemies.

Momonga: It is a rokugani phrase. We do not have firearms in my homeland. Which is why I am observing how they are used here, considering it seems to be far more commonplace outside of Ningen-do.

Six: Forgive me if I assume wrongly, but the weapons you've heard of, they'd likely be... muskets? Arquebi?

Something like cannons made for a person to hold. Long tube, shoots metal balls, you have to actually cram the "gaijin pepper" into it beforehand... any of that sound familiar?

Momonga: Oh, do forgive me for not being clear. When I say we do not have firearms, I mean "The Hantei Dynasty outright outlawed any usage or mention of it outside of scholarly means or specific circumstances".

So the most I can say is "maybe" in regards to that, since it sounds somewhat familiar from the history texts I have perused before on that subject.

Six: Oh, it's a "rulers outlaw it" deal.

Either way, I can help you try to understand why we use that as opposed to, say, a bow. Or a sword. Just ask and I'll answer. smile

Momonga: "The Son of Heaven outlawed it". Which carries considerably more weight to it than any normal decree.

Regardless, yes. I would like to know the primary advantages, considering that it is not as simple to use as I had assumed.

Six: I'd like to at least preface this by saying there's a lot of different guns. My experience lies primarily with the weapons I use, and some might be different. Do ask around.

To answer your question, though, there's a few. I think the biggest advantage, though, is range.

With a sword, you have to be right next to your target to harm them, right? Unless you're very good at being quiet and sneaky, they're probably going to know you're there.

The guns I use? The UNSC's standard-issue rifle can hit a point target out to about eight hundred metres if your aim's really good.
