[kılıç_mehmet]

Traditional arms and weapons of the Seljuk Turks:
A mace, the composite bow, and the scimitar(although the lance was also common for most horseman).
These weapons were the main weapons of Turkish soldiers until the Ottomans introduced firearms into the janissary core, although the majority of the raiders still used these weapons when they went for reconnaissance duties, or flanked the enemy. A traditional azab trooper of the empire would only be armed with the composite bow and a sword, for example.
