Sometimes a bow simply works into the weapon shape better, Rebin. Just because a gun is more high tech doesn't mean that bows aren't just as effective in their own way. If a person wants a bow, they can have a bow.

That being said, a Violin is very hard to make into a weapon. I have done it, but only because I made the violin an electric violin, which means the body doesn't have to be a specific shape or hollow for acoustic reasons. A longbow requires too much length to effectively come from a violin, and the neck and scroll plus the violin strings mean there's too much that has to remain static/be protected in order for you to still make music.
