Diomedean Weapons

Bows and arrows.
Bolas.
Sharp boomerangs.
Flung weighted nets in which an enemy can fall to his death.
Blowguns imported from the tropics.
Bolt operated repeater guns with fire-hardened wooden bayonets.

Poul Anderson does not miss any detail.

Kaor, Paul!

And I think Diomedean warriors also used stone hatchets or tomahawks for up close and personal fighting.
