Pretty sure the samurai were so much into the idea of beating their neighbors that they immediately jumped onto guns almost immediately after the first few got shipped from Europe.

They did, people who opposed firearms were usually of the "nutcase extremist" kind. Nothing like "the mainstream of the traditional society" or something.

Also the funny part about Japanese traditions is that they don't see Christianity as alien. It was quite popular, albeit prosecuted, in the "authentic" past.

Also Firearms were around in Japan since the 1500s.
