The following weapons were used in the miniseries Shogun:
Pistols
Sea Service 1716 Flintlock Pistol
A Sea Service Flintlock Pistol is seen with John Blackthorne (Cosmo Jarvis) in "Anjin". While befitting of seamen it is anachronistic by more than a century. A more period fitting and pragmatic choice would have been an Elizabethan era matchlock pistol and for a more fancier option, a wheellock pistol.
Queen Anne Flintlock Pistol
A Queen Anne Flintlock Pistol is used by Vasco Rodrigues (Nestor Carbonell) as his personal sidearm, it appears to be a Pedersoli replica. Like its name suggests, it is anachronistic and should be a XVI century matchlock or wheellock instead.
Muskets
Tanegashima
The Tanegashima is a recurring weapon in the show; its use in pre-Meiji Japan was recorded back from 1543 when Japan acquired arquebuses from Portuguese sailors.
Other
Cannon
Cannons of what looks like Malay Archipelago types such as cetbang or lela are confiscated from John's ship. It is not specified whether these are captured by the privateers during raids in South Asia or are meant to be genuine European guns.
