bows take alot of skill to use. Fletching is a skill that you can't just hack in the feild. A decent bow setup is the same cost as a legal suppressor without the additional learning curve.
A cross bow has no learning curve but costs as much as a supressor.
I have a take down re-curve and a compound... not a primary pack item but there if I need it. The sling bow is cool and far more practical.
