Arrow Gun with Scope and Silencer

I am currently using the Dwarven Rifles, but I would really like to play with an Arrow Gun complete with Scope and Silencer. Sort of like a bit of the Mojave in Skyrim.

 

It should level, be affected by the archery perks and be enchantable.

I hear you ShadeFinal. Still, I can relate to the shooter experience in games more than casting magic spells or fighting with melee weapons. Plus I like the stealth experience which silencers and scopes could bring to the game. Just thinking of unique items which only the player could use. Think of it as a quite crossbow able to zoom in on the target only in the shape of a pistol or rifle.

Guns are guns because the tube shape contains and directs the gases produced by exploding gunpowder.

 

Bows are bows because the energy stored by bending back the limbs is transmitted to the arrow when you let go.

(Crossbows are bows.)

 

 

The only way to build an "arrow gun" is the way Nerf Air System does. Wide back end on the projectile so that the compressed gases (air) will have something to push against, and the projectile needs to completely fill the tube so that the gases will push against it instead of escaping around it.

 

With a thick back end on a long pointy projectile you have a heavier projectile, less accuracy, less speed, and more tumbling.

 

You could go with oldschool Nerf style where you pull back a spring that's embedded within the body of the weapon, but I don't know how well that would work with a standard arrow.
