Weapons that were in the Songhai Empire weren't made in the Songhai. They were transported from the Niger river area. The weapons they used were spears, poisoned tipped arrows/bow, the traditional dagger (i made that when i was a little kid), and they rode horses. They easily conquered the Mali Empire, they had cavalry that had armor from head to toe, they were practically invincible. Their leader was named King Sunni Ali, who was a military genius.
