Guns + no shields really is disgustingly powerful. Though the added expense for a real army of gun troops is pretty insane as well. I'm having to spam mastercrafted spears worth 50k every once in awhile to not go bankrupt. I don't think it's possible to maintain an army of gun troops without some serious happy merchanting.

>Kyushu's samurai troops can become tier 7 gun troops with 270 gun skill
>There's a tier 6 alt path where they drop the gun and pick up a handheld cannon

Still haven't figured out why you'd ever pick that path except to make missing the rider and hitting the horse a guaranteed dismount, but oh well.
