From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arquebusum[1][2] (ex nomine Theodisco Hakenbüchse[3]) seu manuale tormentum[4] erat arma ignifera duabus manibus tenta, genus sclopeti, praecipuum saeculorum XV, XVI et XVII. Erat arma potens, quae lorigas confodebat, etiamsi procul non iaculabat (50m). Arquebusa constabant canno ferreus, 94cm longo et 20mm diametro, in quo pulverem et pilas plumbeas inducitur. Canno fixus erat ad ligneum capulum. Pondus arquebusorum erat 4kg.
Pedites primo adhbuerunt arquebusa, sed mox, musqueto creato, etiam equites arquebusa usi sunt quia leviora erant.
