there are actually a lot of different bow types out there, each one with its positive and negative sites ( but they are not the same, there are huge differencies between them)

there were longbows with a 2 meter span, featuring high ranges and strong punchtrough but were hard to handle

shortbows are smaller, thus they cannot hold as much charge as a bigger one, hence they have less force and range

its like the old discussion about the comparison of phage and drakgoon,

they are completely different weapon types but put into the same class due to comparison

and yes, comparing a longbow to a shortbow is like comparing a semi auto to a bolt action, they are different types of weapons but to keep it simple they were thrown into one class

and the dps thing, daikyu is made for utility not just for raw damage (like comparing glaxion and soma)
