The point is it's in addition to the bumped up stat line so you now have a sword that can cut at Sw+3 1,2 and Imp at Thr+3 2, and get a fencing parry.
Seriously show me another sword in the LT list that can do that. Noticeably the Zweihander in the same book is even better, but then the only thing that can beat one legendary ethnic weapon is another!

1). why would it not stack, the AD(2) is function of the awesomeness of the bow, the arrow is separate
2). look at the DRs in LT, Thr+3 (2) is beating most of them
3), The issue is I think comparing this thing to Basic or LT bows, for a true comparison to realistic bows you should be comparing it to Deadly Spring.
But anyway given the point of the chapter is to emulate various weapon myths, if you don't feel they do so by enough just beef them up some more! Basically you don't need to worry amount balance.
So make that Katana Sw+5 and AD(2) for proper tank barrel cutting and make the welsh Longbow Thr +6 AD(5) and it will pin fully armoured French knights to Oak doors etc ;-)
