Keep - Nailguns can't kill people. Arrows can't kill people. Knives and bullets can't either, you know. They just pretend they do for game balance. After all, arrows have only been used for hunting for about 4000 years. It's not a proven weapon. --BoboTalkClown 22:11, 6 June 2008 (BST)

Oh my, you want to try pulling back the string of a 200lbf longbow? --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 22:20, 6 June 2008 (BST)

Not to mention pretty much all arrows made today are made in a manner to be pretty harmless to humans.--Karek^maps?! 22:32, 6 June 2008 (BST)

Err... you could shoot through armour from over a hundred meters away with a longbow. You don't need that kind of "fire"power in an urban environment. People are not going to be much further than 50m and are going to be wearing flak jackets at most, which provide very little protection from hunting arrows. Shortbows are perfectly capable of killing unarmoured humans. Not to mention the advances in technology which allow the compound bow to have a relatively small draw-weight, while still giving a lot of power. --Midianian|T|T:S|C:RCS| 12:20, 7 June 2008 (BST)
