The following weapons were used in the film Seven Samurai:
16th Century Tanegashima Matchlock Musket
While the film is best known for its swordplay, the 16th Century Tanegashima Matchlock Musket is seen used in the film. Three Tanegechimas are used by the bandits against the Samurai. Kyuzo (Seiji Miyaguchi) steals one to examine it during a solo raid and gives it to Kambei Shimada (Takashi Shimura) and Katsushirō (Isao Kimura). Kikuchiyo (Toshirô Mifune) later abandons his post to steal another one. The bandit chief (Shinpei Takagi) uses the remaining one in the final raid.
