This article is pretty awful. Directly as effective as a gun? What? Range of fire, range, reload speed, maneuverability (try firing a bow in a Humvee), weight, logistics, armor pentration(1), all are *massively* in favor of guns. Archery wasn\'t even superior to late-era arquebuses, let alone muskets or modern automatic rifles. There is a reason every single army in the entire history of humanity that *could* adopt guns and phase out archers, did, no matter how many archers they had on hand. I get Katniss is the new hotness, but come on. This article is absurd.
