Longbow (sniper rifle)

The Longbow is a  Sniper Rifle manufactured by Hyperion. The Longbow can be obtained as a rare drop from Badass Creepers in the Caustic Caverns.

Special Weapon Effects
It fires slow moving projectiles shaped like arrows. Always incendiary. Always spawns without a scope. Reduced ammo consumption for an E-Tech weapon

Usage &amp; Description
When auto-targeting is turned on in the options menu, the snap-to targeting places the arc of the Longbow's projectile immediately through a standard humanoid enemy's head. The key is to not correct an aim for the head as normal, but to fire center mass, which is where snap-to targeting places the reticle upon aiming down the sights.

Trivia

 * According to the Longbow's barrel part,, and the fins that expand when firing, the Longbow is an weapon despite the item card's  coloration.
 * The Longbow's projectiles are shaped like the arrows from the video game Minecraft.
 * The flavor text ("Ceci n'est pas une sniper rifle!" (Lit. "This is not a Sniper Rifle")) is a reference to Magritte's The Treachery of Images, a painting of a pipe with the words "Ceci n'est pas une pipe." written underneath in cursive lettering. The point of this painting was to demonstrate that it was not, in fact, a pipe but a painting of one.
 * A similar reference was made by the game Minecraft. The game's menu splash text, "Ceci n'est pas une title screen!" translates to "This is not a title screen!".
 * Like Hyperion pistols and all E-tech weapons, the Longbow features fins on the side of the gun that extend outward as the gun fires. When fully extended these fins resemble the arc of a bow or crossbow due to their placement and unusual size.
 * Oddly enough, when fired, the Longbow does not make the usual E-tech sniper rifle firing sound, but the normal sniper rifle sound.
