Briefly, why is the status of the bow and arrow in ancient times not comparable to that of a melee weapon?

First of all, the bow has a poor hit rate due to its mechanism of action. Body-barrel firearms are able to maintain a certain degree of accuracy due to the initial direction given to the projectile by the body barrel. While the arrow forward direction is not subject to the body tube control, although there is a tail feather as a stabilizing rudder, but the arrow is larger than the projectile, the wind area is also large, and the arrow's initial velocity is slow, the general Angle Bow for 55-80 m / s. The bow's initial velocity is very low, and the bow's initial velocity is very low. There is also the fact that people must use a lot of force to open the bow, in this process of force, the arm is bound to produce a large tremor, so a combination of factors, the accuracy of the bow and arrow can not be compared with the musket, especially not compared with the line gun; secondly, the arrow's damage force is small, the arrow's flight speed decay fast, and the arrowhead area is large, and the speed of the human body after the stabbing of the speed decay is also fast. Primitive society was struck by an arrow, the arrowhead is basically embedded in the bone, the vast majority have not been pierced through the bone, and the flintlock gun bullets can be shot through the bone on the general shooting distance, not to mention the later wire rifle bullets.
