		Guns are everywhere: knobby, wooden, all pipes and welded joints, ugly, oily, ungainly, battered, dusty, dinged and bent, festooned with straps and blades and bipods and scopes but somehow -- if you read the postures of the men who carry them -- totally comforting.
		Guns are like anything else; they don't exist in a vacuum but in a context -- historic, cultural, political, mechanical -- so if you know your guns and ammo, you can take a reading as any critic can from any art form, and learn some stuff.
		Our gun there was the M16; our gun now is the M4, a carbine variant of the M16, meaning the fourth modification of the weapon since it was initially adopted for jungle warfare back in the 1960s.

	The Complete Guide to Anachronisms in Samurai Champloo--Episode Nineteen
		Based on all the questions we have had so far about this--and will continue to have (see 20-21)-- I suspect we must make the assumption that gaslight, at the very least, arrived in the Champloo universe a good deal earlier than it did in our own universe's version of Japan (1872).
		Placed on a tripod it was a large revolver with a cylinder behind its single barrel; the cylinder had to be turned manually.
		So...I suspect that while the gun type itself is perfectly ok for the time and place, that "various shapes, sizes, and calibers" bit has been taken and Champlooed; I can find nothing indicating that any enterprising soul ever tried making one with six barrels!
