Description
Because of the
shortage of metals on Mars, firearms are not as
common as they are on Earth. Many poorer (and
even some wealthy) Martian city states equip their
troops with bow weapons to give them a decent ranged
weapon, with, in many cases, a superior rate of fire
compared to Martian firearms.
The Martian Short Bow is the standard bow weapon found across the
face of Mars. It is light enough to be used by conscripts with
a modicum of training. |
