Did the Greeks ever adopt foreign equipment ..

Greeks colonized Fars before 480BC? Or Gaul, for that matter? And no, Massalia was just a coty on the coast, Celts inhabited massive territories.

Jeez - you need to get a team of international lawyers to vet anything you say on this forum, before somebody jumps on you! :lol:

I think I said colonised or visited - and I don't remember giving any dates.

I merely postulate that they got almost everywhere, and must have met and traded with just about everybody too. From the far reaches of the Black Sea to ancient Cornish tin miners. And that probably included navigating decent waterways taking them inland for considerable distances too.

In doing so they would have acquired all sorts of things, military and otherwise.
