Bingo.
Although, she'll probably be firing the Tanageshima within a month or two.
EDIT: It didn't take long for uneducated peasant conscripts to be taught how to use firearms way back when matchlock muskets were top-shelf army equipment.
“If you want to train a longbowman, start with his grandfather.” - King Edward IIIThat is why they replaced bows,which was better weapon.If you use longbow,you need 5 years to be average bowmen.
Muskets - one month and could send them on battlefield.
Well,and muskets could kill dude in plate armour,too,when bown need very lucky schoot for that.
Which is less than the typical PBI grunt hauls around ...A knight wearing full plate was wearing an outfit made out of about 45lbs of steel.

English longbows and Japanese yumi are nasty pieces of equipment in the right hands. That 3ft long armour-piercing arrow can easily punch through about 6-7mm of steel.
Samurai armour was mostly for show because it wasn't going to do jack shit except slow you down*. Medieval European full plate actually did provide some protection when things got "up close and personal". A knight wearing full plate was wearing an outfit made out of about 45lbs of steel.
The typical grunt isn't expected to be capable of doing a gymnastics routine while leading illiterate peasant conscripts armed with "whatever".Which is less than the typical PBI grunt hauls around ...
Agincourt is a really interesting 15th century battle. Henry V's consripts - which were highly paid professional archers, BTW - built a nasty trench line and made a killing field that the French just waded straight into.Dunno about samurai armour,but you are right about plate.You need heavy longbow to pierce it,and even then at 30m or less distance - and knight was only lighty injured.
When muskets made possible for win even with fresh consprict.
Not possible in medieval times - peasants after month of training could not take on knights,even with good weapons.
The same peasants with muskets made difference.
Modern infantry would have suppressing fire from either a M249 or a M240 is they have a weapons squad.Agincourt is a really interesting 15th century battle. Henry V's consripts - which were highly paid professional archers, BTW - built a nasty trench line and made a killing field that the French just waded straight into.
IIRC correctly the English archers started dropping arrows on the French from about 300-400 yards.
That's indirect plunging artillery fire. Modern body armour wouldn't have done jack shit and modern rifles are sighted for about that range if it's line-of-sight direct fire.
You are an idiot.Modern infantry would have suppressing fire from either a M249 or a M240 is they have a weapons squad.
Which basically means those archers will be getting hit at about 800 to 1000.
And the infantry would move use bounding so suppressing fire always happening.
By the time they get to 300 ir is over as the a infantry is trained to hit at that range from basic with irons
What?You are an idiot.
In 1415 English archers neither had nor were facing crew-served automatic weapons bcause such things hadn't been invented yet.
I did not say they could take on modern soldiers during a large battle with any expectation of winning.What?
You said the archers would be able to take on modern soldiers.
I proved to you why they wouldnt

Meh ... mortars .... 'nuff said ...Modern infantry would have suppressing fire from either a M249 or a M240 is they have a weapons squad.
If it is stuck keep fighting.I did not say they could take on modern soldiers during a large battle with any expectation of winning.
A Medieval English archer catching you by surprise will suck six ways to Sunday because that 3ft bodkin will be an absolute goddamn fucking nightmare for paramedics to extract while you are bleeding to death before they even begin to apply bandages.
Your idiocy never ceases to astound me.If it is stuck keep fighting.
An arrow isn't prone to go through and through.
Also, the soldiersnwouldnt be caught by surprisez the archers would
Infiltration?Your idiocy never ceases to astound me.
The drill manual I gave Lucille includes infilfltration tactics.
It's a drill manual which was written by a Samurai who left Japan. In 1864 he asked the USPS to deliver a Confederate battle flag he captured to his sister.Infiltration?
What kind of fucking manual is that?
Because mathlock are not stealthy
And it mentions infiltration? Like exactly how?It's a drill manual which was written by a Samurai who left Japan. In 1864 he asked the USPS to deliver a Confederate battle flag he captured to his sister.
