The armor halls are followed by a couple of halls, dedicated to firearms.

Here too some of the guns are European, including an unusual 8-barrel English one.

Among the firearms, there are a couple of cases with accessories such as powder flasks, holsters, etc.

If you like Islamic and especially Ottoman long guns, well, they certainly have some nice ones at the Askeri.

The last few halls on the first floor have some smaller artillery pieces, along with bows and arrows.

The first floor ends with some javelins and spears. The second floor is dedicated to the post-Ottoman period and the formation of the Turkish state and army, and as such there are fewer ethnographic items here.
