Guns 'n' Samurai

My friend's teppotai, samurai gunnery group recently celebrated their 20th anniversary with a matchlock gun demonstration on the old Nagashino Battlefield....
Each member in full armour shot off a number of volleys from their antique matchlock guns...
The noise and the smoke was terrific, and the event, about 30 minutes in all was well worth the hour and a half long drive to get there!
With the teppotai gunnery team. Some of the members came to Australia with me in 2006 and again twice in 2010 for demonstrations and events. Congratulations on 20 years!
