I found that Mayans lasted as a civilization well in the 17th century(the last city fell around 1697)
Since thats well over 100 years since their contact with the Spanish; did the Mayans ever use muskets and metal bladed swords that they may have picked up/traded from the Spanish? In the same way as the Native Americas in North America?

The Maya empire collapsed before the Spanish even arrived.

Doesn't look like it.

>The Spanish described the weapons of war of the Petén Maya as bows and arrows, fire-sharpened poles, flint-headed spears and two-handed swords known as hadzab that were crafted from strong wood with the blade fashioned from inset obsidian;[42] these were similar to the Aztec macuahuitl.
