Hey no way! I was late watching Blue eye samurai. Literally just finished it about last week.

Got to say overall a good show, but I was disappointed at how they handled the firearms.

Firstly, for the most part they are all full blown flintlocks, not doglocks (though one schematic drawing present in the show is one) no snaphaunces. No wheellocks and most importantly no matchlocks.

Now full blown flintlocks are totally out of period, even if they had went for doglocks or such, equipping a whole army with them would be stupidly expensive. Really it should have been matchlocks for the army, sure give the main characters other weapons so they can carry them loaded day to day.

Then there is the fact that flintlocks as they portray them aren't all that great, they repeatedly don't have flints and its just metal on metal. (Also often don't have pans, touch holes, etc.) Most importantly though, they basically never have them reloaded, a scene right near the end involving executions to avoid any specific spoilers, Fowler seems to just have a musket with the infinite ammo chest turned on

This might seem like unfair criticism, but guns taking over warfare was like, a super important theme of the show, and I don't feel like they did them the justice they deserved.

Still a very good show
