Actually, Eric, quite the contrary. Guns (Arquebuses) were extremely important
in the history of Feudal Japan. It is not uncommon to read accounts of
3000-4000 gunners taking place in large battles in the 1500's. In this regard,
including guns in the Lego Ninja theme is very accurate from a historical
perspective. If you would like to know more information about this, please
