- Bolts: Designed based off of the old model bolters see in Omega Pyre, the head of the arrow is pressure sensitive and highly explosive. If it is touched while active in the air the small change of pressure can cause it to detonate.
- Long Range: Designed based on Verpine technology, the arrow that is fired is given a heavy charge to accelerate it at high velocity for longer range.
- Charge up: Designed to build up energy to propel the slugs down the coils. The charge time gives two things, time to aim and correct at the last moment but also a chance to get into cover.
Designed by the Firebirds for pain and damage. THeir units might be small but higher quality weapons built to specifications and purpose. The Handheld bow is an example of that with energy wrapped explosive slugs coated in an anti coagulant and based off of old Omega Bolters encountered in battle between the sith and protectorate. Small changes can set it off and the explosive packed shots can detonate directionally sending smaller slugs towards the one in front.
The bow itself though is based on a more dangerous mentality and that is hunting, maiming and drawing out the enemy. For the Firebirds when hunting jedi it is simple they can inflict wounds, harm and damage withoutgetting the kills. Jedi compassion will make them pput themselves in danger and it becomes a trap. Against other darksiders they attack it is vicious and allows them to humiliate the enemy who may be made to beg for the release of chaos.
