Now a rare sight on the battlefield, the ''Bowman'' began its life as an artillery platform mounting a pair of [[Arrow IV]] artillery systems. However, this configuration never met with success, due mostly to [[Clan]] biases against indirect warfare. Therefore, the ''Bowman'' was modified to its present "standard" configuration in [[2973]]. Still unpopular with Clan warriors, the ''Bowman'' is primarily utilized by Clan Hell's Horses.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3067'', p. 124</ref> ==Weapons and Equipment== The ''Bowman'' utilizes an [[XL engine]] to maintain its rapid pace, as well an [[Endo Steel]] internal structure to save weight. An [[ECM Suite]] protects it from some forms of electronic warfare, while twelve and a half tons of armor protect it from weapons fire. The primary armament on the ''Bowman'' is a Class 16 [[Arrow IV Artillery]] launcher. Enough ammunition is included to allow for various types to be utilized. Though the original design incorporated two artillery pieces, the modern version accedes to modern demands by utilizing a Type XX "Long Bow" [[LRM-20]], though it has a limited amount of ammunition. Three Series 7Ja [[ER Medium Laser]]s are meant for anti-[[vehicle]] use, while two [[Anti-Personnel Pod]]s on each leg keep conventional [[infantry]] at bay. Fourteen [[double heat sink]]s keep heat levels down for the most part. ==Variants== *;Bowman 2 : This variant abandons any hope of the ''Bowman'' being an artillery 'Mech.
