This article is about the infantry weapon. For the BattleMech, see Daikyu.

Overview

The Daikyu is a longbow of Japanese descent, being the traditional weapon of the ancient samurai. Designed to be fired from horseback, the Daikyu is nearly as large as the European Longbow though with a shorter range. Its use is largely relegated to those warriors of the Draconis Combine who practice archery for sport, meditation and the veneration of the samurai tradition.[1]
