Toying around with a bow user and got to wondering about accessories. Back in 3rd a bow had to take a special mount that you could then add one vision system too. Does that still apply or can bows take vision systems normally, taking into account that they probably only cound as having one mount point.
Also, is there an option to have a collapsable bow for easy concealment in any of the books?
-
If you are wearing vision enhancements already why not used those? but ya I supposed you could put a smart gun link on it to shoot around corners and collapsible bows or any weapon for that matter would probably be just like the batons, move one step smaller in the concealment table (should be a melee accessory anyways like the personalized grip IMO)
-
You can def take a smartgun internal system and that comes with 1 slot for vision enhancements. Modern bows take all sorts of accessories like scopes so just run a common sense check past your GM. If they're sensible they'll be fine with adding scopes and other standard kit to them
-
The things that pop into mind are Smartgun, MRSI software (WAR!), Personalised Grip, scope perhaps, improved range finder and flick bayonet

Might also want to work out a quiver with your GM, mainly sorting out how many arrows it can hold. Depending on your GM this may also allow you to make Quickdraw attacks since the arrows are "properly holstered".
If you want to get fancy... floating around somewhere is a quiver based on Hawkeye's quiver in The Avengers, including wireless control to automatically thread different heads on an as-needed basis.

4E "Arsenal" had a collapsible bow (p. 18), though if you are looking for something akin to the one on "Arrow", you'll be disappointed. 3 full combat turns to break down, 5 to reassemble, fits into a standard suitcase. Accuracy same as standard bow, damage penalized (STR min. +1, instead of +2).
