Are the muscle powered weapon stats wrong?
I know long-bows were better than 18th century muskets. Wasn't it Washington who would have preferred his army be armed with them?
One of the reasons for the change from muscle-power to gun-powder was training time. Crossbows and muskets are DX/E, default DX-4; Bows are DX/A, default DX-5. I'd not heard the one about centralised production before - you learn something new every day.
