Another problem with this theory is that some (or more accurately most) bowguns don't use a string or bow. Teostra's Artillary, Daora's Delphinidae, Chaos Wing, and a bunch of others are more like shotguns in overall design if you think about the way they work. In truth, if the MH world were as prehistoric as almost everything else in the game leads us to believe, then we should be using muskets to kill monsters, like the Aquamatic Spark, just where we have to put more gunpowder in after every shot.
