The following weapons were used in the film Azumi:


Muskets

Matchlock Pepperbox

Kanbê Inoue (Kazuki Kitamura) uses the very rare but historically-interesting Japanese matchlock pepperbox. Although it may seem like movie fiction, multi-charged revolving-barrel medieval Japanese firearms genuinely exist in very rare numbers.
