Sengoku version of Republican and DemocratsWhat's with the "the Takeda/Oda" repetition?
That's the perception of crossbows, which was why they were extremely unpopular during this era in Japan. The Genoese figured out how to make them work on the battlefield and became famous in Europe for it. The perception of guns in both Europe and Japan was that "they do massive damage, but one wrong move and half of your own army will explode alongside the incompetent gunpowder handler."The perception of guns then was “they would kill trained warriors if hit but they’re inaccurate, the reload is slow making them sitting ducks, only useful en masse and useless once in melee.” And Shizuko be mass-producing breech-loader rifles. This war is gonna be a hella bloody slaughter.
