The '''Bowgun''' (Japanese: {{hl|ボウガン|Bōgan}} ''Bowgun'') is a rare [[Bow|bow-type]] weapon which was introduced in {{FE1}} and has only appeared in one game since, {{title|Radiant Dawn}}. It originated as a basic bow whose main selling points were its increased [[Crit|critical rate]], high hit rate, and its low [[weapon level]], ensuring that all playable bow users could wield it immediately. It did not appear in [[Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem|either]] [[Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon|remake]] of this game.
