User blog comment:Lord Loss/Discussion of the Week: Bowguns/@comment-1633232-20121015222729

Heavy Bowguns were always a favored weapon of mine, especially in the early days of Monster Hunting. But as far as the improvements go, mainly it's all based on personal opinions on which series did the best for Bowguns. Since Frontier is regularly expanding, it seems bowguns get the most improvement in that series. Since Frontier came out, it seems that the bowguns in Frontier vs. Tri onwards have taken different paths. Some of the features in Tri and Portable 3rd are exclusive, same for Frontier. In future MH games, I hope they blend some of the features for bowguns. Using the Heat Injection System(the Gravios Beam thing) and the Howitzer Shot from Frontier + Siege Mode from Tri would be thal and fun combination!
