It's amazing to see how dedicated the gun corps is in their attention detail and living history. Sadly, too many think that it's only Americans who keep history alive like this, but there are so many others, and if you've never shot a matchlock before, they have their own quirks that you don't get from a flintlock or percussion gun and you have to be extra careful because of the burning slowmatch that you must be aware of and paying attention to at all time.
By 17th century, Japan had more guns then all of Europe put together. Insane to think of how common the gun really was in Japan, they imported hundreds of thousands of them from Ming and later Qing, made several hundreds of thousands themselves.
Yes, but volley fire exists so that the inaccuracies of un-rifled firearms would be countered by the the amount of firepower fired at the advancing enemy So, in layman's terms Inaccuracy of smoothbore firearms can be countered with more bullets, and more bullets mean a much higher chance of hitting the enemy
Why would the long guns be loaded by others. it does not seem to make loading faster unless the re-enactors are not doing it right, such as priming just before loading or loaders not returning the scouring stick back to the gun... something.
The gunner can remain in cover whilst the gun is being loaded. The ‘wall’ being used is a replica of part of Matsumoto Castle where the shooting positions have very limited space.
Thank you for this. Do the practitioners take the guns home? Are people able to buy gunpowder and store them at home? Are people allowed to mould mucketballs from home? (I am Israeli and this is not allowed in Israel, but I live in the USA and I can order the guns on the Internet and have then delivered to my home. I cast my own bullets and press my own modern ammunition. That is why I am interested in the laws of Japan. I also shoot archery and have a Japanese bow and make my own arrows.) @@Gun_Samurai
Keeping a firearm and ammunition at home is perfectly legal; but the person must have a license. This is also applies to the purchase and storage of gun powder 🙏
@@1czechit1 You cannot order guns on the internet and have them delivered to your home in the US unless you hold some type of ATF-issued FFL license. Or unless the guns are antiques (manufactured before 1898).
Just as our founding Daimyo's intended 😊
Our founding fathers were secretly weebs! PLOT TWIST :3

Thank you for the kind words 🙇♂️ it’s always a pleasure to hear from blackpowder enthusiasts 🙏
Who thinks only Americans keep history alive? Sounds like you're making shit up tbh

Not put together, though that is a common myth. though based on certain estimates they had more per capita than any European nation.
These muskets are simply GORGEOUS! More than I gave credit to, I love the sound and smell of blackpowder!
Thank you 🙇♂️ we are very lucky to have access to these historical firearms 🙏
The best part of Shogun 2 is to get your matchlock unities in the right place at the right time.
I was never very good at that game 😅
@@Gun_Samurai Me neither
chosokabe clan laughs in bow warrior monks (and shoots all your units from a hundred miles away)
Japan went from this to Kobeni yielding a fucking Uzi against a devil.
Our enemy is running from the battlefield! A shamefur dispray!
I was always awful at that game 😅
legend voice=))
That demonstration had flawless form.
Thank you 🙏
I do love me a good volley fire.
Thank you very much for this enlightening display, as I only knew ashigaru volley fire before. It is a honour to see this group.
Thank you for the kind words 🙇
Wait a minute The Last Samurai taught me that the samurais never had any guns. Hollywood would never lie to me would it?
😂 well, it depends.
Well _that_ was Shogun approved.
Where was this recorded? Do they still have these shows?
Matsumoto Castle; we regularly perform 🙏
UTEEE!
Tanegashima
👍🏻👍🏻
they better add this in ghost of tssushima 2
Two guns would be more efficient for the double team - one shoots when another is being loaded.
Yes indeed, but Wait till you hear about the battle of nagashima friend
Yes, but volley fire exists so that the inaccuracies of un-rifled firearms would be countered by the the amount of firepower fired at the advancing enemy
So, in layman's terms
Inaccuracy of smoothbore firearms can be countered with more bullets, and more bullets mean a much higher chance of hitting the enemy
Nobunaga Oda: well hello there
These are muskets not rifles, they are much more effective inline formation because of their low accuracy .
Are you in the shooting season again?
Yes, we’ll be shooting until the end of autumn 🙇♂️

銃のリロード中、どうしても隙が生まれてしまうので、その間に矢を放つことで敵を近づけさせないように足止めするのです。
Does anyone know if they were firing projectiles or just burning powder for effect?
It depends on the venue; at Matsumoto Castle it is only powder 🙇
@@Gun_Samurai Thank you kindly for your answer. May I ask, are you affiliated with this group and/or venue?
Yes, I'm their interpreter and one of the gunners.
Tokugawa?
Toyotomi. The red and black flags have the Toyotomi sigil on them
Armors are useless against gun. So they used shields instead.
