Bedil Jawa Arquebus

While the Bedil Tombak Fire Lance was of dubious utility in the battlefield, the potential of firearms did not go unnoticed. Many early matchlock arquebuses were imported from Arabia, others produced in Java (which was considered an island of expert gunsmiths back then). By the time of the Portuguese invasion of Malacca (1511), Javanese forces were equipped with these sorts of weapons, though other armies in Nusantara were unfamiliar with them. Naturally, these arquebuses were imported to Oceanyka in exchange for exotic goods. One of the most historically important users of the bedil jawa (lit. Javan gun) arquebus was Morlon of Toffia, whose elite "Divine Thunder Regiment" was mostly armed with these matchlocks as opposed to the more uncommon Portuguese-style Istinggar Arquebus.
