Until the 1800 gun powder producted allot of smoke, the "ninja shotgun" as it where filled two purposes one it hit a small area and was disposible. Two, the smoke obscured vision and flash blinded a person at night. So even if the "buck shot" didn't stop you, you were dazed.
Also when guns became more common in Japan the ninja were the first snipers. Hitting someone at 200 yards away is tough now and is the record of this era for them. Now we shoot well beyond that range with modern guns and sights.

Only the blood, liver and kideies of the blowfish are poisonious, & i think the gonads. So if you drain the blood or do not cut deeply you can get the surface muscle without killing yourself. But, its rather difficult and only master chiefs will prepare it.
