Why does the game need crossbows or bows?  They would serve the same 
function as silenced pistols, but they would be even less effective, slow 
to reload, and short ranged.  Once you got silencers you would never need 
the bow weapons.


BTW, anyone else remember Wages of War?  It came out around the same time 
as JA:DG, and it had bows and such.  Too bad the game really sucked 
though, but JA2 took some of its ideas like a weapons catalogue, 
training, and LMGs.
