LOL, this crap again ? Maybe all I have to say is that historically, during the Sengoku period of Japan, there was no law, and piracy has terrible all along the coast of East Asia, and they originated from a Japanese pirate group called the "Wokou" or what the Chinese called "dwarves." Hehe, of course, when law and order came back with the Tokugawa Shogunate, and ninja traditions unified under an actual government banner, ninjas became real government undercover agents - and they did play a serious role in eliminating these damned pirates... guns or no guns, the Wokou were cleaned out by the Japanese within a few decades.
MIght I remind you once again, that guns and cannons were common place in East Asia in all military institutions by the 12th century. Here we are talking about 15th-16th century era.
Its ironic that how in those days, Japanese pirates used to pirate Chinese soils. Today, Chinese people pirate Japanese software rampantly.
