Bows
Bows can refer to any of several low tech ranged weapons. These include:
A simple short selfbow with a load of incendiary arrows. The arrows carry fuel and an igniter. Upon impact, they spray fuel around and ignite it.
A powerful greatbow. Fires a heavy arrow long distances.
The greatbow is a moderately heavy, single-shot ranged weapon which deals a slightly higher amount of damage per shot; slightly longer time between shots; slightly longer range and high overall accuracy.
A recurve bow. Its construction behaves like a tuned spring, storing energy more efficiently and delivering a faster shot.
The recurve bow is a light, single-shot ranged neolithic weapon which deals a slightly higher amount of damage per shot than a short bow, has a moderate time between shots, slightly better range and slightly higher overall accuracy.
A simple short selfbow made from a single piece of wood.
The short bow is a very light, single-shot ranged weapon in RimWorld which deals a moderate amount of damage per shot; slightly longer time between shots; slightly shorter range and moderate accuracy.
