I prefer the gunstock war club, but that's not pre-contact.

>>3313487
What do you think bronze is?

>>3313500
It's a copper-tin alloy. Sorry, I forgot what's "alloy". :^)

Ayllus

The Incas used the word ayllu to describe lassos made of strips of rawhide that had three large stones suspended from them. Popularly used in hunting to bind the legs of their prey, the Incas threw ayllus in combat to bind the arms and legs of enemy soldiers. In fights against the Spanish, the Incas also used ayllus to bind the legs of horses so that Spanish soldiers would be forced to fight on foot

Halfway between a halberd and a spear, the tepoztopilli was equally useful for slashing and thrusting. Conquistador Bernal Díaz del Castillo mentions that on one occasion his armour was pierced by an Aztec lance and that only his thick cotton underpadding saved his life. The last authentic tepoztopilli was destroyed in a fire in 1884 in the Armería Real in Madrid where it was housed.

Looks a bit like an Egyptian axe but they had wooden hafts with metal heads

few atlatls survive from the Aztec and are highly decorated. The British Museum specimen is probably one of the gifts sent back to the king of Spain by Cortez, which then were passed around the royal houses of Europe. It is elaborately carved, and gorgeously gilded, a work of art fit for tribute to a king, or the weapon of a noble warrior. It is, however, perfectly usable.

It's hard to find Inca remnants online. The knowledge isn't publicized on the internet. Also most shit was lost, due to spanish melting the golden and some other metal arctifacts and tools on the capital.

They used a proto-halberd, kind of like. But I can't find a picture online. There are variants of it, some of them were completely made of bronze, the others resembled more an axe with a wooden stick.

Also they made short spears (antañauchi) with a longer blade, that it resembled long dagger.

They used a great variety of weapons, the jungle people used blowguns and bows, the coast people used stone and copper maces, some axes and clubs, the andean (Incas) used slings, bolas, axes, spears and the proto-halberds mainly, also the higher ranks used some helmets bade of bronze. There have been golden chestplates, but it was probably used by the Sapa Inca (king).

No. Are you blind?

I can link other pre-inca cultures that had better equipment actually, due to their trade routes.

Moche people seem to had these weaponry and armour type.

>>3313786
yes, I only see incas and aztecs
you are forgetting about all of the south american cultures
also, where are the north american tribes? where are the Rapa Nui?
pre-columbian america IS NOT limited to Incan and Aztec people

>>3313851
Anon, I posted just two texts from aztecs and Incas. What's your point?
