## Lore

The D-101 Longbow DMR (Designated Marksman Rifle) is a semi-automatic sniper rifle made by Lastimosa Armory. Models from the Frontier War were variants of the then-current R-201 Assault Rifle, the model used in the Apex Games then would most likely be a variant of the R-201's successor, the R-301 Carbine.

	+ Bangalore can be seen using a fully-automatic Longbow in her Stories from the Outlands.
* Despite being a designated marksman rifle (DMR), the Longbow in-game is classified as a sniper rifle instead of a marksman weapon.
