 Using a projectile weapon (bow/crossbow/slingshot) - what action type?, Nothing in the SR4A RAW alows it! |

Per SR4A RAW, there doesn't appear to be an action that allows a bow to be shot. The obvious choice of Fire Weapon specfies that it applies to firearms only while Throw Weapon is limited to throwing weapons. So, per RAW, these weapons cannot be used...

By the way, I cannot find the action for Opening a Window. Is it that we lost the technology of opening Windows in the Crash?

It's either Use Simple Object or Use Complex Object at the GM's discretion. BTW, I'm about as far from a RAW fanatic as you can get. I think that the RAW is full of holes and bad rules, and I think that RAWdoggers fuck up much more than they fix by doggedly sticking to RAW. However, just to show that RAWdogging is crap, I'd ike them to show me how thye would make a viable bow-uaing character. |

Technically, a Bow or Crossbow would require a READY Weapon action . . is letting go of the String/pulling the trigger a free or a simple action?
