So what's up with the translation 😭
"What, aren't you satisfied with MTL slop? Stop complaining, it's free!"

Top of the page reminder that Gold-Scale can read neither Japanese nor English: they're MTL'ing both and filling work balloons with whatever gets shat out. If you can't read the language you're translating from, nor the language your "translating" a work into, that's not translation.

That's a rewrite.

They're a scammer pushing out speedscans to try and make a quick buck, and anybody supporting them is an idiot.

I don't think that the use of guns against cavalry would be as effective as shown. Cavalry shock is a real thing, and broke up disciplined formations rather often. I'd be incredibly careful about putting a single line of gunners against cavalry without pike xor bayonet. Even a small unit of cavalry getting close to completing a charge would probably rout the gunners immediately, and then where are you?
Edit: That said, with the much higher quality of firearm, it would be possible. I still wouldn't be comfortable though; cavalry remained into the bolt action age for a very good reason.

You should read some papers on the increase lethality of fire arms.

Even with the age of the bolt action and the machine gun, cavalry remained a threat against prepared positions over bad terrain. (Take the Battle of High Wood, where British cavalry successfully attacked over poor terrain against machine guns and German rifles. While casualties were heavy, they traded evenly and dislodged the German unit. Further, the rumors of British cavalry making a deep raid or massive successes caused command and control issues.) While cavalry often operated their own and quite large machine gun units organic to their unit, even unsupported cavalry shock and speed could rout units armed with the relatively faster firing bolt action and massively faster firing belt fed.

also:
Heliocentric theory. I heard from somewhere that this wasn't particularly true. Something about politics and being caught wrong place wrong time? Not a massive thing though.
