Designer Notes
The Long Bow Jager was initially intended to serve in rifleman squads which would engage targets in the Badlands at a distance and, using precision targeting, destroy enemy units. The project was on the point of cancellation because of poor performance. On the final inspection of the prototype design, one of the military observers realized exactly what it was that they had in front of them; combining precision fire control and long-range weapons systems, it was a perfect mass-produced sniper Gear. In TN 1691 the first Long Bow Jager entered service. It was used to good effect during the War of the Allance to pick off battlefield commanders of the CEF forces. Sitting back from the action, the Long Bow would find likely command targets and track them until a shot opportunity appeared. The machine was used with great effect during the War of the Alliance as a "Jan-Slayer." While human commanders mostly kept to their armored vehicles, making sniping difficult unless they came out for a look, Jan-class GRELs who commanded smaller units tended to stay more in the open and made perfect targets.
