Uggg, another one! (I'm told IRON COFFINS almost qualifies as fiction.) I have that book, Samurai. This is very disappointing.



As far as weapons, in general, are concerned, if any belligerent has some great weapon, whatever it happens to be, and it is not much mentioned in the histories, I think we are entitled to ask why. If it was not used, maybe there was a good reason for that. If it was used, maybe it was not much better than the standard item it was supposed to replace.
