Lancer Composite Bow and Bolts Dragonslayer-greatbow-on-hand

Item Name: Lancer Composite Bow
Item Type: Anyone with Adept Strength and Adept Weapon Use skills. This is currently owned by UHCM.
Used For: Offense
Item Description: Measured almost 7ft in length and weighs at 10lbs, this massive bow is capable of breaking a person's arm or dislocating an average human being's shoulder by the sheer force of the release. To distribute the force, it was designed with a hardened steel anchor located at the tip of the lower shaft. The bowstring was made up of soft steel wires braided into a pair of cords with cup-based catch used to both withstand the force of the release and to keep the Lancer Bolts from shifting out of place during the aiming. When reeling back after nocking the Lancer Bolt, it demonstrates a great deal of resistance, so it is often very difficult to sustain the aiming for a while. What caused the resistance was a composite pieces of treated soft wood encasing a mildly thick and broad skeleton made of spring-steel. if looking at where the bowstrings would be hooked up, the diameter of the hooking bar is often thicker than a man's thumb, which describes the thickness of the entire skeleton. Instead of the hand being under the Lancer Bolt, the bow is designed to allow the hand to be over the Lancer Bolt's shaft as the Lancer Bolt rests on an outcrop located on either sides of the handle end of the lower bow shaft. UHCM, its creator believed that when wooden arrows can cause infliction onto the bare hand, no one would want to know how bad a soft steel lance would do to the user's hand; he jests that the lance will mangle the hand upon launching instead. Alone, the bow has many purposes including as a club, as an barrier and armor shattering launcher of lances, and as a spear.

UHCM, the creator of the bow advised to fire it while it is fresh and have the quiver of Lancer Bolts somewhere you can easily pull them out, which can be either on the ground standing up or on a table properly laid out. The proper technique for aiming will require being able to judge both the distance to the target and the force needed to take it there; UHCM guarantees that if you think far, divide the first thought about force because the release force will be enough to make the Lancer Bolt look menacing, even for grand masters of defense artists. When fully drawn, there will be no second guessing or going back because trying to unnocking the arrow from that amount of force will cause severe injuries to the user, even at Master Strength because all that force will spring back like being tied to the bumper of a super car. On another note; the Quincy would find this weapon to be very clumsy and slow, but given to UHCM's style of fighting, a single shot is all that is needed to make a powerful demon go away...far away (hinting that with great recoil comes with great knock back power.)

Technical speaking; it will take a post to make adjustments when aiming and anchoring, and then another post to load it and fire it before repeating the process as the force of the launching will no doubt leave the wielder a tad shaken and needed to readjust before firing again.
Obtained From: It was crafted by UHCM.
Yen Price: 50,000 Yen
Notes: There will be a ten day delay after ordering for it if anyone else wants it too.

Item Name: Lancer Bolt
Item Type: Lancer Composite Bow only
Used For: Ammunition for Lancer Composite Bow
Item Description: Made of solid steel with a hardened tip, each Lancer Bolt weighs about 5lbs and is around 5ft in length. As its namesake, it is designed to look like a small lance and the weight is a bit towards the tip. The typical sight of it would cause disbelief about its ability of flight, but they are usually met with the surprise about how much impact force it has before the penetration force could take place. Given to UHCM's great endurance, he is capable of carrying more of these pygmy lances than necessary while still bearing the weight of his shield, weapons, the bow and his heavy dark armor. This bolt's capability of surprising devastation to master defenders classified him as a Tank class for both having great defense power and great offense power at the cost of speed. The very notable feature is their durability, making them reusable if not actually lost to begin with.
Obtained From: UHCM crafts them and they can be retrievable.
Yen Price: 500 Yen Each Bolt
Notes: UHCM can only make 3 Lancer Bolts per day. So if asking for quantity, talk in days instead of how many bolts. In one quiver, UHCM would be carrying 12 of them (which is 60lbs.)

Seems like a pretty neat weapon! I'll give you an acceptance and remove the yen since I have the power to do that. Enjoy your bow and arrow! :3
