Bowgun is realistic and not rule of cool you say?

How about the swords made of nothing but animal bone which are capable of folding in on themselves for seemingly no reason?

Not to menton how, If I recall correctly, the hunters in MH are ordinary humans with no particularly special abilities lifting swords that would make Cloud Strife jizz his pants with no explanation of how they do it, no super strength of any kind. -Then you should have said so up there in the OP. You never said "try to keep it at 2-at-most inspirations" or anything similar.

-"Bowgun" is...really just a glorified rifle, to be honest. Some look like crossbows but they are all pretty much rifles. They are like 80% gun, 20% crossbow.

-Bring me an specific example, cause I haven't seen any. Sure, some say "bone whatever", but still include a great deal of steel, with the bone pretty much being just the blade.

-Actually....fun fact, MH Hunters are actually super humans. Or more precisely, descendants of super humans, remnants of a forgotten past. Which is why they can wield such titanic weapons so easily. This was said in outside material however if I recall right, not in one of the actual games.
