Yeah I can't even imagine how scared the natives must have been when they saw somebody killed by a shotgun for the first time.
Just the other day I read that a Treasure Rescue company based in Florida had found remains of a spanish galleon containing gold pieces from the Inca Empire. By law, the rescuers can keep the
bounty and pay the corresponding taxes. Well the spanish representatives were fuming because they said that the gold belonged to them!!! hahahaa the jerks! still salivating for stolen gold
after all these years!

It's incredible how they could destroyed such a great empire. Of course, Spanish Musket have a lot to do with this.
