Well I would say that the colonial conquests of Africa and America are a good example, though it varies, early on, there was more of a match. Guerilla tactics and fact that the only reason for early muskets was because it's easier to train gunpowder weapons, even though early ones were inaccurate hand-cannons with a likeliness of explosions. But of course, the colonial powers had access to other things like cannons and good steel. In Africa, the fact that it was closer and had more access to the trade routes of Europe and the Middle East meant that they were not as technologically deficient as the First Peoples in America, but even with the more advanced tech, the main success against early colonial attempts were disease and guerilla warfare. This is why it's sparsely colonized and was mostly beneficial as trading posts until the 1800s when better weapons and medical techniques were discovered.
