Editing Bow Weaponry (section)

===Bow===
The most primitive and common of the Bow family. The simple Bow is found on almost every planet as a hunting tool and rarely a weapon of war.

They are simple enough to be made En-masse and are used for big game hunting as well as a primitive form of deterrence. Bows changed little through their many countless centuries of usage and can be found across the galaxy in a variety of designs and constructions. Because of their silence and reliability, they are used by assassins and gangers even in more advanced cultures.

Because of the very little military practicality of bows, some have taken this primitive weapon and turned it into an art piece. Master-crafted Bows are quite sought after for both its quality and collectible value. Some bows are turned into a form of sport such as compound bows in archery competitions. Whilst other bows are used for silent hunting of the planet's local wildlife. Of course, this doesn't stop some Guardsmen into reenacting a scene from Rambo, more so if that particular Guardsmen is a fucking [[Catachan Jungle Fighters|Catachan Jungle Fighter]] of all things considered.

Some Imperial regiments, especially those from more primitive worlds, may opt for a Bow rather than the [[Lasgun|flashlight]] as a Bow is quieter and less likely to give away your position to the enemy (that, and it's much simpler to use for Feral World natives who have even less understanding of technology than most Imperials do). Of course, the challenges of piercing power armor with a simple Bow are almost as (if not totally) impossible with normal materials. Thus, it is quite common to see adamantium or diamond-tipped arrows which allow some leverage to make the Bow more compatible in war. Of course, if they have enough adamantium to use in disposable weapons ''of course'' they wouldn't use it for armor instead or at least to tip something more powerful like bolt shells. That would be ''silly''.

In [[Necromunda]], there are bows called '''Wyld Bows'''. Wyld Bows are large compound bows used by the [[Wyld Runner]]s. Basically, members of [[House Escher]] that are quasi-feral kids and quasi-alien Beastmaster's, who use these bows as a more...quiet form of assassination weaponry. These chicks just go full-on Rambo in Necromunda. In terms of tabletop, it's a bow with a -1 to hit at long range and no bonus at short range. While it really limits the Wyld Bow’s viability, the bow is very cheap - only 10 credits - which does a lot to increase its usefulness. Additionally, the special ammo that can be bought for it can give it a real boost, especially exploding ammo. [[Awesome|Who doesn’t love an 18” range Frag Grenade?]]
