Nubian mercenaries made up the best archer units, the key soldiers in the Egyption army. The bow was a composite of horn, wood and sinews. New Kindom infantry carried axes, and spears. In addition to the bow and arrow, charioteers carried a spear to defend themselves after using all their arrows. Most of these weapons had their origin in Asia. The intro of metal working made weapons more durable.
