			But were these Handgonnes shooting metal balls the size of your fists? And the Matchlocks in the movie also fired pretty much small cannon balls. When I saw it for the first time, they were using them luck bazookas [[User:Excalibur01\|Excalibur01]] 14:47, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

	::My two cents. Handgonnes (spelled that way) did exist. They were the earliest firearms, just cast metal tubes stuck on the end of poles. The 'handgonner' would tuck the tube underneath his armpit and light the fuse manually. They came out in the 14th century, and were used by Medievel fighters of the time. I have a Teutonic Handgonne in my gun collection (now just a rusty metal tube really and I would NEVER fire it). As for the Matchlocks, you NEVER fired it from the shoulder like in the screenshots. That's ridiculous. Like the Handgonnes (again, correct spelling) the user tucked it under your arm against your body and held it until it fired. The Japanese did use a series of Matchlock firearms (again, I have a Tanegashima Matchlock from the period in my collection, but like many archeological relics, it looks more like rotting junk than a firearm.) Mine was actually dug up from an excavation. Here is a link to a reproduction one:		::My two cents. Handgonnes (spelled that way) did exist.
