    I do understand FPSHG is a gun based server however I feel the bow should be stronger. When fighting players after spawning in (They are in leather armor), it takes 3+ shots with the bow to kill each one. It also takes about 4 seconds to reload the bow. This meant it took 12+ seconds to kill an enemy and I had to hit every single shot. When comparing the less expensive kits to this such as the RPK, a RPK can kill an enemy in less than 3 seconds. If a crossbow/bow and its ammo are going to be more rare and expensive then these other kits and their items, it should realistically be stronger. Also in a real life situation where an arrow hits you, you would go into shock and definitely bleed out or something. I feel the bow should be buffed, I don't know how however it should be something. These buffs could be things such as:
    • Damage Buff (Addition Damage)
    • Explosive Tip (Like mc-war, arrow explodes)
    • Confusion Effect (Fatigue/Blindness given to hit target)
    • Bleeding Effect (Player takes damage every few seconds similar to war-z bleeding)
    • Blood Trail Effect (Redstone forms where hit player walks for several seconds/Player gains slowness)
    • Tri-Bolt (3 arrows fire however they count as 1 bolt)
    • More accurate shooting (Not at much Arch when firing)
    • Faster Firerate (If possible, quicker pullback)
    Should it be buffed, or am I using it wrong. I've used it for some time. What do you think?

    I expected it to be a one-hit kill like the tomahawks, much disappointment when I found out it wasn't. :c

    I think the damage is based on how far you pull back the bow... It should be that, if you fully pull it back, it's a one-shot.

    I want an ACTUAL CROSSBOW make the bow abundant but the bolts rare if you have to but it should be able to OSK a full chain and shoot like a gun with a 4 sec reload time

    I think they should make it like in War. That would be perfectly balanced in a game where you would only really be shooting at one person instead of many people flooding through a doorway.
    I expected exploding arrows and i lost a match because i didn't know that it sucked (i found it in a chest)...

    As it is now the bow is probably one of the least sought after weapon out there. Reason being it is simply not a practical killing devise. Speaking as a person who knows bows I find it harder to get kills than the m9. Having it an actual crossbow would be fantastic so let us make it like the first crossbow in mc-war (click and shoot not pull and release.)
    A.) Increase the damage (you should be able to kill a player with less that two bolts.)
    B.) Take away the explosion.
    C.) Increase the range.

    That list was specified towards this sentence. "Having it an actual crossbow would be fantastic so let us make it like the first crossbow in mc-war"

    I was about to make a forums post about cbow but then i saw yours...
    I really think it should be buffed to explode but not 1 shot or make it a donor weapon/kit

    If an explosive was stuck inside your body you would die. Making it a donator kit does not make much sense since if you were in the wild making a bow and arrow is far easier then building a m9 or any firearm for that matter.
    I am glad to hear that people want a change.

    I agree. Judging from the amount of credits you need to get it, I consider it overrated. I'd love to see a buff added to this, like a permanent effect, or an explosive arrow.

    However, I don't think the explosion on the arrow tip should deal as much damage as in McWar. Because of the arrow isn't OSOK, the explosion will finish the job. The arrow should do about the same amount of damage as it does now, and the explosion should only deal about 2 and a half more hearts of damage.
