The leader decides that his own technology is no match for these new aggressors, and so the only viable option is to steal theirs; the order was simple, periodically a small group of soldiers should be sent out to retrieve a weapon from a dead enemy; the excellence of these enemies was overlooked however, and it took many days for the weapon retrieved.
And what a wonder it was! Like some of the more advanced muskets, used by mounted soldiers, the powder and projective were loaded in a single casing, but unlike the muskets, several rounds were stored in the gun, each being able to load itself, with no more interaction from the user than pulling the trigger; it would take weeks for his scientists to fully disassemble it and figure out the workings.
Weeks he did not have.
