confrontation between armies, we won’t be relying on them. A sword is far more effective. Speed is the key.”

Matchlocks were more useful in close–quarter combat, where there was cover to hide behind. After firing a shot, one could reload while staying out of sight. However, in a face–to–face battle, before one could even raise the weapon, their head might already be taken off.
