“The not particularly awesome result...”
I suspect similar near-verbatim quotes might be found from sword-weilders
about the first few shots from the first blunder-busses and muskets.
But you might not be able to locate such quotes.
Because after a bit of perfecting of said gunpowder-powered throwers
of lead...those same sword-yielders went to the rubbish-heap of
history at a much younger age than untold generation of their
sword-bearing ancestors.
And they bled out before they could scrawl out in their blood an
account of how a simple country rube with a musket (and absolutely no
skill with any sort of sword) mortally wounded them FAR beyond the
reach of any sword.
