| An apparatus inspired by and after a fashion, a progression of Earth-That-Was' Recurve Bow. It is some 2-3 feet in length, the front bears on it's lower half a handle where the weapon is held by the wielder. On the top-front of the apparatus is the bow itself, a curved appendage bearing a taught string. A 'shaft' joins the two halves of the forward end of the bow, where the arrows exit the weapon's enclosed shaft. Farther down the shaft, mid-front to the bow, is a series of 4-5 Gas Canisters that allow for pressure to be exerted upon the rounds while they are fired. Closer to the back of the bow is what would on any other weapon be a 'clip'. In this apparatus, some small number of long, metal Barbs (about 3-4 inches long) form the tips of the arrows. In this place, arrows are inserted into the cartridge-space of the bow, and a digital display shows the pull of the bow. Finally, the trigger mechanism is pulled in a similair manner to that of any other bow, pulling the string taught and operating the sophisticated workings of the bow. | |
