Finally, the Malaka Sultanate is done (thx to all Kaskusers who help me complete this research!)

Here's the most important writings that I've get!
Kesultanan Melaka



The arms which they ordinarily use in warfare are the sword, shield, lance, bows and arrows, and blow-pipes with poisoned darts. At the present day, in consequence of intercourse with us, they use muskets and ordnance.

The sword, a blade measuring 5 palms in length, is called Padan (Pedang) among them: like the Turkish sword, it has a single edge. The dagger, called Cris (Keris) a blade measuring 2 palms in length, is made of fine steel; it bears a deadly poison; the sheath is of wood., the hilt is of animals' horn, or of rare stone, or of gold and precious gems.

The steel is treated in such a way that every injury is followed by immediate death when the wound draws blood. Iron, being constituted of earthy material, and of a substance which is more malleable than other metals (as Aristotle notes Aleteorologica ch. 6. in 4 Meteorelogica, chapter 6) yields a large quantity of rust and dross. So the natives soak the iron in water and in muddy pools for some time: they then treat it in the fire, refining it till the iron is clean and pure - a method mentioned by Pliny in Book 34 chapter 14.

Then, after polishing the blade of steel, they smear it with a poison so deadly that death soon ensues after any injury which draws blood, wherever inflicted.

So these Malayos (Melayu) use much poison on all their weapons, especially the points of arrows, whether made of iron or wood, or the teeth of animals or fish, or of "nyboes " ('nibong').

Their bows are larger than the bows of Persia.

The lance called "azagaya " is 10 palms in length: these lances are much used as missiles.

There are other lances, as much as 25 palms long: besides a great number of " soligues " made of " nyboes '' and used as missiles.

Their artillery, as a rule, is not heavy: formerly they used mortars and swivel-guns made of various metals: to-day they employ larger pieces, and battery-cannon, besides many kinds of fire-arms, including small arms and arquebuses. Regarding the employment of artillery amongst the, Malayos, we know that on the conquest of Malaca in the year 1511, Affonco de Alboquerque captured much small artillery, esmerils, falconets, and medium-sized sakers: these could not have come from Mecca (Mekah) in Arabia where they use larger pieces of the second order, such as battery-cannon: probably these came from Pegu and Syam, where they had an establishment for casting smaller artillery, of the first order, and a foundry for every other kind of metal-work; this thev had learnt from the Attayos (Ayutthaya) and the Chinas (Ming Dynasty), who first introduced artillery, which was invented after the rebellions against the Empire of Attay or Cattay.

And about the guns before amassed contacts with Europeans:
Bedil



Bedil merujuk kepada semua jenis senjata api Melayu daripada yang kecil seperti pemuras sehingga kepada meriam agung.

Orang-orang Melayu telah pun mengetahui ilmu bedil hasil dari hubungan dengan pedagang China, India dan juga Timur Tengah. Orang-orang Islam yang mengerjakan haji sudah pastinya terdedah kepada senjata api orang-orang Turki dan India. Pengetahuan mengenai senjata api ini bukan sahaja mengenai penggunaannya tetapi turut merangkumi mengenai cara membuatnya.

Bukti mengenai kemahiran orang-orang Melayu menghasilkan senjata api diakui berdasarkan surat orang Portugis yang menyatakan terdapat lebih 8,000 meriam pelbagai laras digunakan ketika mempertahankan Melaka pada 1511.
