What weapons did Hernando De Soto use?
The musket, i'll use a gun you use a bow, who wins ?
The answer above is a common misconception, whilst a musket or
harquebus as the SpanIsh had then is great in a one on one
situation, they are very slow to reload and useless when you are
outnumbered as the conquistadors were.
The Horse and Steel were Cortes best weapons.
