Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

Well in real life yes, and I used to play runescape and you can not bring a bow because it is considered a weapon.......

Answer 3

yes. Except for that place in wales....i heard about that...

Answer 4

Is it on top of a present, or hurling an arrow at phenomenal speed?  If the first, I'd be hard-put to hurt anybody with a bit of ribbon.  If the latter, yeah, that'd be a weopon.  I suppose it could be something used to play a musical instrument... depending on how you played, it could be considered a weopon.  I've heard some very painful violinists.

Answer 5

Its a weapon

Answer 6

Let me draw and point it at you, then you answer that question....

Answer 7

Anything used to inflict harm or kill something or someone can be considered a weapon.

If I/you were to beat someone down with a frozen fish, we could be charged with assault with a weapon.

So yes a bow can be a weapon if used to harm others

Answer 8

Yes.it is, and a fine instrument to hunt with, I might add!

Answer 9

A bow alone I would not call a weapon...put an arrow with it then it becomes a weapon.....

On second thought I guess I could beat someone about the head and arms with it ......so yes it is a weapon

LOL...Sorry I thought this was the hunting forum, not the computer game forum

Answer 10

yes it is. anything can be a weapon if your try to kill something with it.

weather its a rock, stick, even your shoe.

Answer 11

Answer 12

technically everything is a weapon, if you really think about it everything can hurt or even kill a human. So I would consider a bow and arrow a weapon.

Answer 13

YES it is a deadly weapon that will kill you just as fast or faster than a Gun.*

Answer 14

A bow is a part of a weapon

arrow is the other part

the bow by it's self is not a weapon

Answer 15

yes it is, bow and arrow that is.

Answer 16

It  is  only  a  weapon  when  it  comes  with  arrows

Answer 17

If it can hurt people, than yes it is a weapon.

Answer 18

anything that has the abilty to pierce or cause physical harm to a living being or creature is considered a weapon. examples: finger nail file, a high heel shoe, a stick, a glass bottle, a can, your purse, etc....A BOW....

Answer 19

Weapon: any instrument or instrumentality used in fighting or hunting

therefore,

WEAPON, duh

Answer 20

Of course its a weapon.  It was one of the first weapons to kill game so our ancesters could eat a meal.

Answer 21

its not classed as a weapon if ure using it on the border  of wales and england past 12pm, thats actually true aswell, so you could kill someone with a bow from the border and you wouldnt get arrested, scary stuff.

Answer 22

yes it is a weapon

Answer 23

Anything can be a weapon.

Answer 24

Yes, it's considered a weapon....so is a baseball bat....anything that is used to hurt another person can be deemed to be a weapon.  However, a bow is not classed with or considered to be in the same category as guns.  If you are under gun restriction, you can still use a bow.

Answer 25

So many people are confusing "weapons" with "tools".  A bow and arrow is a tool.  It has been used for millenia to hunt game and put food on the table.  It has sustained millions more lives than it has ever taken.  It is NOT a "weapon" until it it used to hurt another person.  But then, as others have pointed out, ANYTHING that is used to injure or kill someone is considered a "weapon", so the label itself is quite misleading.  Automobiles kill more people each day than do firearms, but you wouldn't label an automobile a "weapon" as you would a gun.

Answer 26

a cross bow is, as is a long bow, or a short bow.  A violin bow is not usually a weapon but I read a short story where it was used to kill a woman.  So I guess it is  a weapon after all.
