The Longbow's status as an E-tech weapon is also evident in inventories, where the weapon will be grouped with E-tech weapons rather than with legendary weapons. Evidence of this can be shown as the rifle itself has very minimum movement when the sights are aimed down. A major advantage of the Longbow is its extreme accuracy firing may not actually increase accuracy. When auto-targeting is turned on in the options menu, the snap-to targeting places the arc of the Longbow's projectile immediately at a standard humanoid enemy's head.
The parabolic arc of the arrows means that aim will need adjustment to compensate for the arc of the arrow. The lack of a scope makes the Longbow primarily suitable for close to mid-range combat. Slightly increased (+4.5%) chance of ignition (as of hotfix of 17 October 2013). Fires slow-moving, Minecraft styled arrows that have a parabolic trajectory.
Ceci n'est pas une sniper rifle! – Always incendiary.
