@@brian9829 musketballs were lead, and each musket in this era usually came with its own bullet cast. Pick up bullets, melt them and pour the molten lead into your own cast, and thus you have bullets. Cannonballs were often wrought iron, and often the same caliber, or close enough (ie one 12pdr gun's ball could be used in another 12pdr gun) and were often picked up after a battle, as they were expensive.

Proper gun carriages are key to accuracy with cannon. At this time wedges were used to prop cannon up to adjust the angle of fire, but eventually screws at the end of the cannon were used that had precise measurements associated with every turn of the screw, making adjustments precise and easy. Naval gun carriages aren't as well suited to land as field gun carriages, but they can work in a pinch. Another common problem of the era was cannonballs that were not uniformly cast or had bubbles formed in them during casting, affecting the weight and hence the range. In the early days of gunnery, often stones were cut into round spheres instead of using metal at all.

The earliest experiments with rifling date from the late 17th century, about 1685, and did not become commonplace until the mid-19th century. You know about the battle of Trafalgar in 1805?

Though outclassed by many characters in each regard he was also capable of dispatching a samurai in a fight. He was also a member of countless boarding and raiding parties who killed multiple enemies in his life as a privateer. In fact, most of his combat experience is actually on land not on ships. -Mariko attitude makes her unlikable, contrary to the books, she did not talk back and act like a arrogant 17 year old prom queen. She was polite, calm and patient. -The history of Malta Siege actually had a big impact on Yabu and Toranaga making them reconsider their tactics.

That's true, but at the same time, they're not claiming cannon were new to them: Yabushige has seen them and used them.

This is an almost complete rewrite from the books. Why? Yabu had always seen the value musket units; and Blackthrone brought in tactics. Yabu wasn't doubtful of Blackthrone's knowledge at this point, he'd been convinced by Omi long before this point. He'd gone out of his way to try to tame blackthrone (his rescue of Rodreiguez, for example). And the cannon were not used.

@jerrylove865Ай бұрын
@@rei1556 Muskets come into their own in 1575; but European-derived cannon, including breech loading cannon, start only a few months later; and all were in use prior to the Shogunate in 1602; so you are playing with history no matter what you do (hence why this is a fictionalized history based on real history) That said: Canon were used on ships and in fortifications (as the Europeans used them) rather than for direct-fire field artillery (as seen in the new show). One of my other problems with this scene is it creates a "white savior". In the book Blackthorne is a useful tool. Yes, he helps train the Samurai for musket maneuvers, but Yabu already had an idea on how to use the muskets, and they were always a "once-or-twice" use. Blackthorne is actually far more useful as a threat to the black ship, where Torinaga uses the Erasmus as a political tool. The modern show seems to have Blackthorne teaching the ignorant natives what real cannons are like. One of the things that impresses me about Shogun is it's ability to make a European protagonist, and make him relevant, without ending up in a white-savior trope. I'm not prone to cutting the writers slack based on the narrative beats they more-or-less destroyed (see how the "unless you win" conversation plays out in the book vs the modern adaption as an example. The new version "don't fight, you are out numbered and won't win"... "unless you win". It's nonsensical; The conversation about obedience to lords and the parallels between the description of the reformation and Toranaga's own ambitions to the Shogunate are *far* better).

This show is re-writing history and discrediting any events from the Portuguese, by attributing everything to this fictional character. It was the Portuguese who brought and taught the Japanese how to use cannons. No, English artillery wasn't better than Portuguese... Portugal together with Spain had the strongest naval technology. In fact, the strongest warship equipped with cannons was Saint John the Baptist aka "Botafogo" (Spitfire). Mounting cannons on ships was a Portuguese thing, but Anglos really like to change it in their media, to exalt themselves over other Europeans... Also, at 1:30 Blackthorne is holding a "Mariner's astrolabe" created by the Portuguese... surprised they didn't claim the English version was better. But that is Anglo fiction for you,.

@@davidguglielmo1177I'm not here to discuss the loud voices in your head. In 1600 Portugal literally had THE BEST artillery in the world and it had been that way for nearly a century, all fruit of Portugal attracting the know-how from the rest of Europe. Do you know who even invented and perfected the idea of putting large artillery pieces on a ship? That's right, Portugal. Oh but they couldn't figure out how to aim them on land, oh no... Cannons were being used as land artillery by almost 3 centuries by the time of this show. To say they could not be counted to hit a target with any degree of accuracy at the range you could fire an arrow is m-o-r-o-n-i-c. No, cannons "of 50 years ago" weren't "absolutely terrible", canons did not see a significant leap in technology that affected accuracy until the mid 1800s when rifling was introduced, and again, Portugal was at the forefront of what steps forwards were being made at the time. By the way, the Portuguese merchants had no problems selling the cannon technology to Japan just as they did with guns. The Japanese were not as interested in them because they possessed neither the technology nor the resources to make them themselves. Nothing here would be new to them. They bought all the canons they could buy when they could buy them and even made some but the largest ones were as small as the smallest caliber ones you would find in an European ship and it would remain that way for a LONG time. Unless the main character brought canons from more than a century in the future like he did his guns, his shop would not have anything different than a Portuguese one would have. Also he literally talks about his marvelous cannon being able to breech a castle. A CASTLE. Being able to hit a castle is supposed to be some mindblowing technological feat? And he literally references the siege of Malta "40 years ago" to explain how useful cannons are. Turns out cannons weren't so "absolutely terrible" even in the nonsenical canon of this show huh? You need to shout less and learn more.

@@deathtoraiden2080 I'm a retired field artillery officer and study artillery. This show shows the c. 17th century era and those naval guns are about the worst thing to be used for *field* artillery. Those naval gun carriages would weight well over 500 pounds each and nearly be impossible to move if there was a little thing called "mud" or sand. Put a gun barrel on them and they would be impossible to move. It's funny watching Blackthorn use the gunner's quadrant to figure out the angle of fire. Generally, it's helpful to put the quadrant on the gun. But what do I know? I only fired the real things. I'm still trying to figure out how Blackthorn was using as a caisson to move the ammo since the field artillery carriages at that time stored the ammo next to the guns (naval artillery stored the powder in a ship's magazine and a youngster - called the powder monkey - would run to the magazine to get the powder). It's a TV show and I don't expect accuracy. I do know the Swedish invented field artillery that were made out of cast brass. Blackthorn's guns were made of wrought iron bars beaten by hammer into a barrel. They had a nasty habit of blowing up and killing the gun crew. Also, I can tell a "blank" gun TV show firing just by looking at it. Most people have not been around the raw power of field artillery. I've seen 81mm mortars, 4.2 inch mortars, 12 pounder Napoleons, 3" Ordnance rifles, 3" Parrot rifles, 105mm guns, 155mm guns, 203mm (8") guns, and tanks fire. Even the Civil War weapons are extremely powerful. When fired pushing a "shot" the Ordnance and Parrot rifles will fly back 5 or more yards. The modern guns have a fireball that's at least 10' in diameter. I've seen the 8" guns tear grass out of the ground. The Swedish invented "field" artillery for the 30 years war. Napoleon standardized artillery for his wars in the late 18th and early 19th. The American Civil War was the last use of muzzle loading cannons by both sides in a major war. Prussia (Germany) introduced a 76mm (3 inch) breach loader for the 1870s war. By 1897 the French introduce their 75 mm gun that breach loading, has a recoil system, and a modern aiming system. In 2024 most guns are not greatly different from the French 75 mm gun. Granted the computer systems, guidance systems, and the projectile have all radically changed. The French also invented the modern tank and working bolt action rifle. Smart folks those French. Also, one of the worst things to happen to Western Civilization was the fall of Byzantium. The fall of Constantinople, also known as the conquest of Constantinople, was the capture of the capital of the Byzantine Empire by the Ottoman Empire. The city was captured on 29 May 1453. The Ottoman siege artillery made that possible. Naval guns are not field artillery. Field artillery is not siege artillery. Naval guns can be used as siege artillery. Naval guns and naval carriages can be used in a fort (you're better off with army gun carriage).
