Yes but this was a last ditch thing , like cyanide pills.

I'm talking about guns. Arrows aren't the best weapons for long range shooting, or for CQB.

Well this is talking about a person when guns didnt exist. If this was a modern day ninja then he would be trained in that and would probably be a marksman.

We have snipers that do that now, what's the difference?

Can a sniper mingle in with the crowd and have the abilitly to dissepear, they where great mercenaries.
The larger the team, the more chance of the mission being given away by choice or by accident.

That doesn't apply to modern day situations, we wouldn't have "families." In this sense, it would be replaced by a country, but then again, all SF soldiers fight for their country and wouldn't want their country to lose face either.

Back then and still today loseing face in asia is valued more highly than in the western face. The ninja would rather die than lose face to his family or replaced by unit. These ninja's didnt really belong to a country in reality but to their families.
