Before Europeans came to NZ, the Maoris did not use any projectile weapons such as bows and arrows, javelins, or boomerangs in tribal wars. The Europeans introduced Muskets into NZ and soon this modern weapon changed the power balances between tribes. The popularization of more deadly modern weapons and the continuity of long history of tribal/family feuds, the invasion of whites, as well as the breakout of old continent plagues cause Maori population plummet.
