Good episode.  It showcased some of the earliest gunpowder weapons.  The Ming three barrel gun was ingeniuous for its time and place.  The Musketeer grenade and the Ming landmines did a lot of damage.  What the episode revealed was the rough parity in weapons development between Europe and China before Europeans began outpacing the rest of the world.
