longbows are cool weapons

categorically

just saying

best cost/effectiveness ratio to be sure

the gun has the highest kill counts

even as someone french I have to say longbows were cool

and you know

Nah guns require powder, if you lose access to that great you got a mechanical contraption that cant do anything

the highest cost to effectiveness ratio

*artillery would like to know your location*

powder is more prevalent than spears tho

longbows just you know

wtf

a cannon is still a gun

yeah

@Storin powderless rifle + knoife = spear!

Bloomberg is retarded because he buys things he shouldn't

This was funny but obvious to me

anyways

a gun is durable

a spear is flimsy

But a longbow is eternal

What about a gun spear @Lucienne d'Anwyl

if you break your haft u dead

i dont know

Longbows are not easy tbh, an English longbow has a draw strength of 150lbs, that means each shot is the equivalent of doing a barbell row of 150lbs/65KG

i cant imagine something like that existing outsid of fiction

Best of both worlds <:smugon:512048583806025739>

Longbows were not easy no

To fire a proper longbow/warbow takes at least a year of training

But

I fire a 60lbs recurve bow

And even that is enough to down deer

Harpoon guns

You needed major muscle mass to pull a longbow proper

deer dont exactly wear armour

Peasants with training could still kill armoured knights

If guns were so awesome why did they make bayonets to turn them into spears?

Arrows do fuck all against most forms of armour tbh

Did someone mention the gunlance?
