Unlike the existing art of gunnery, emphasis was placed not on a hitting accuracy but on a mass attack strategy like a heavy barrage of fire; it was characterized by the tactics plus gunnery for the use of firearms with a perfectly coordinated teamwork performed by 'Gorei,' which was absent in Japan by then (It was said that not 'Gorei' [a word of command] but 'Meirei' [order] existed in Japan).
これはこれまでの砲術と異なって、命中精度より集団運用による所謂「弾幕を張る」等の用兵が主であり、それまで日本に無かった「号令」（日本には「命令」はあっても「号令」は無かったと云う）による一糸乱れぬチームーワークで火器を駆使するための戦術プラス銃砲術の性格を持ったものであった。
