So true, Fernando.
Thanks for posting some images from your files, that show some of these types of very early guns you mention, from an era much preceding the scene I commented on, with the mounted pistoleros whose weapons were very likely wheellocks. Let's see if someone out there would like to comment on the russeted armor with close-helmets these same guys are wearing, that's a field I'd like to learn more about.
