Description
Developed by Clan Hell's Horses in response to aggression from Clan Ghost Bear during the late 2900s, the Bowman is a rarity as an almost purely defensive BattleMech of Clan manufacture. The Bowman is built around its incredibly effective Arrow IV artillery system, capable of laying down impressive damage at long range. However, Clan pilots initially chafed at the lack of direct-fire weaponry so the Horses engineers included a LRM-20 and three ER Medium Lasers on the design, allowing it to contribute to a firefight more directly if required. A 350-rated XL engine and Endo-Steel frame provide power and weight savings for the firepower.

Description
Developed by Clan Hell's Horses in response to aggression from Clan Ghost Bear during the late 2900s, the Bowman is a rarity as an almost purely defensive BattleMech of Clan manufacture. After the Bowman BOW-1 was poorly received by Clan MechWarriors, the BOW-2 refit was developed. This replaces the Arrow IV system with a second LRM-20, an ER Large Laser, and a large number of bonus heat sinks and extra LRM ammunition. A 350-rated XL engine and Endo-Steel frame provide power and weight savings for the firepower.

The Bowman is built around its incredibly effective Arrow IV artillery system, capable of laying down impressive damage at long range. The BOW-4 is the original design and was hated by Clan pilots, leading it to be a rare sight on the battlefield. It carries a second Arrow IV system and zero backup weaponry beyond several A-Pods. A 350-rated XL engine and Endo-Steel frame provide power and weight savings for the firepower.
