The "opposition" in late antiquity were for the most part, other Imperial troops. Any objectve student of this epoch can only conclude that "barbarians" were considered less seriously by an emperor than other pretenders to the throne. Hence, the argument that barbarians forced the adoption of different weapons really doesnt make much sense.
