The Longbow
The Longbow is the primary offensive armament installed aboard the Horizon, firing 406mm customizable shells that can deal significant damage, even to larger ships. The Longbow can be found on Deck Three, east of the bridge control room, past the Journalist's Office. It is best used as a medium to long range offensive armament against large/armored vessels, and takes a significant time to load.
Ammunition types and loading:
The Longbow's shells start disassembled at the beginning of every shift for safety purposes, as the explosive compounds used in both the warheads and primer are unstable. Each shell is comprised of three parts, a warhead, casing, and primer. The casings and primers are stored in the same room as the weapon itself, with two specialty primers, low power and high power.
