- Does it get any bigger? – The Longbow mainly chambers 20mm sabot rounds, much larger than your standard sniper round, making it highly effective against light armored vehicles.
- Did I get him? – Due to the large round, hitting near the target will do less damage but will still deal significant damage to the target.
- Which one to use? – The Longbow can chamber different types of ammo.
- Is that too far? – The Longbow is accurate over long distances due to its scope and design.
- What is this made of? – The Longbow rifle is a very heavy rifle and is not meant to be carried long distances, and would be a bad field weapon for a standard sniper rifle.
- Did you hear something? – The Longbow is a loud weapon and can be heard a fair distance away.
- Aren’t you kind of close? – The Longbow is not meant to be used at close ranges.
- Why does my shoulder hurt? – Due to its larger payload, the Longbow has high recoil.
The first question asked was, “How big of a round can a soldier safely shoulder fire to eliminate a tank?” the next question was, "How light can we make that weapon?”. With those questions in mind, the original designs of this rifle used the lighter material Duraplast but found that the shock of the recoil quickly degraded the strength of the weapon structure. In order to keep costs low and structural durability high, the company defaulted to Durasteel, trading weight for strength. Once the weapon successfully completed the rigorous series of field tests it was available for purchase with the suggestion of two-man teams, but it could be managed by a single soldier if necessary.
