Tanegashima caliber
A minor note, but one that i'll make as Kurokawa gave the Grik tanegashima matchlocks.
Tanegashima Matchlocks historically had caliber measured in shot weight rather than bore diameter. The old Japanese unit used for this was a Monme, approximately 3.75 grams. Here are some sizes...
These range from 1 monme shot used for practice and hunting small animals to 100 Monme used in anti-building/ship monsters like this...

Grik matchlocks are .80 cal (20mm) like Taylor Anderson's "Doom Wooper" I saw no caliber mentioned for the Grik Allin/Silva's in BITW, however PP 420 of ARC gives Small arms thus, "Teeth, claws, swords, spears, Japanese style matchlocks (Tanegashima) muskets (roughly .80 cal.)"

So they'd fire something to the effect of a 11 monme/41.25 gram projectile then.Pokermind wrote:Grik matchlocks are .80 cal (20mm) like Taylor Anderson's "Doom Wooper" I saw no caliber mentioned for the Grik Allin/Silva's in BITW, however PP 420 of ARC gives Small arms thus, "Teeth, claws, swords, spears, Japanese style matchlocks (Tanegashima) muskets (roughly .80 cal.)"

If that's 18 or 19mm round ball then, yes.
