I think I'm going to stick my level 6 heavy caliber on this and call it a shortbow instead of a longbow, basically shoot while sliding and running and jumping, constantly moving unlike the other bows which were built for planting yourself somewhere and aiming.

On that note do fire rate mods actually do something? I didn't notice much of a difference in fire rate even with max shred + max speed trigger.... This thing has a 1.0 fire rate like all other bows, I'm guessing that the charge speed is the only difference, which isn't listed in the codex. If a fire rate mod doesn't affect charge speed then there's no point in adding it right? Even if it does affect charge speed in some way, this thing charges so fast that it leads me to believe that either you can abuse the speed or you can balance it out. Dread was called "slow" so people tried to make it faster, then gave up and put nothing but damage on it, in this case, the bow is fast to begin with so perhaps adding damage will make it over all more balanced, thus the heavy caliber.

On another note, this thing looks awesome, I don't care about the stats, I'm putting 4 forma on it and using it with pride, awesome looking bow. ;V
