I AM NOT SURE HOW WIDELY SPREAD THE BUGIS PEOPLE WERE BUT IT IS SURE THEY WERE PROMINENT IN MANY AREAS. I DON'T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT THEIR HISTORY BUT THINK IT IS A LONG ONE LIKELY STARTING IN MALAYSIA AND SPREADING TO SUMATRA AND OTHER ISLANDS. THE WEAPONS USED WOULD HAVE VARIATIONS FROM TRIBAL GROUP TO GROUP AS WELL AS TO ISLANDS AND REGIONS. I COULD NOT FIND A COMPREHENSIVE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION BUT WILL POST A FEW PICTURES.
#1. BADIK SULUWESI, BUGENESE, WE USED TO CALL THESE BADE BADE
#2.BUGIS WITH KERIS
#3. 1703 MAKASAR NATIVES WITH BLOWGUNS, BUGIS LIVE IN MAKASAR I AM NOT SURE IF THESE ARE ANOTHER TRIBE OR BUGENESE
