Samurai fucking loved guns practically as soon as they were introduced in the 16th century to Japan, and before that they would have been more proud of archery and horsemanship than swordsmanship anyway.
Did they use shields? I've wondered since playing a mod for warband that turns the game into Feudal Period Japan, but it's also hard as fuck to not die because archers abound but the modder didn't include shields because "samurai didn't have shields."
They didn't. Samurai were primarily mounted cavalry. They used bows and spears that required both hands. That modded should've made them armoured horse archers.
