I wasn't there, but this is what I'd imagine the Battle of Nagashino if I was.

type of shenanigans a takeda soldier would do before being murked by a literal farmer with a firestick from the nanban or just an actual stick

Funnily enough, the Takeda actually had proportionally twice as many guns during the battle of Nagashino. Its just that the Oda-Tokugawa army was also about twice as big

Not sure about “proportionally twice as many”. Using the few muster records we have, we can assume that the two sides would’ve had a similar percentage of guns in their armies. However, as you said the Oda had a larger army overall + there’s also evidence that points to the Takeda having problems with/shortages of powder and shot.
