I mean, even in historical fantasy, I'd still love to see things done correctly. It would ruin my emersion so much if you did a movie about something, say for example the French Revolution, and everyone just pulls out a bolt action Springfield to shoot the monarchs.

Are you sure? If that happened with no buildup I'd find it hilarious!

Reminds me of in Inglorious Basterds

Tap for spoilerwhen they burned the cinema and gunned hitler down,

I actually laughed out loud at that.

Yeah I was expecting the plan to fail since obviously that isn't what actually happened, and it was a legit shock.

After the shock and laughter, I'd be a little annoyed, funny as it sounds.
