Firearms were used by the mongols as early as the 1200's. Not very new.
And bows are barely traceable because of how far back they go.
And they arrows in Minecraft aren't even made of iron, instead they're made of sharp bits of flint.

I put my shirt on one leg at a time, just like everybody else.
Also, maybe have less enchantments. Like rifling and maybe something else. Maybe not infinity, but just one other enchantment. Punch would make sense because getting hit with a musket ball would knock you back pretty far. Also, one other thing. The katana from Balkon's is useful but for things other than a regular sword. If you were spamming the left trigger, like everyone does, hitting them does not knock them back at all, and more swings get counted, but low damage. Still useful, but for different things. With armor and weapons, every armor has a durability, lets say iron has 200. A katana does like 1 or 2 to it, the regular sword does 3-5 to it, a battleaxe does like 10-12 to it, the warhammer does like 20-30 to it, considering it is a hammer and it takes 4 of whatever it is made of. Hammers were meant to break armor in and crush it. A metal sledge hammer could actually believe it or not, break a suit of diamond armor with one hit. Diamond is actually one of the most brittle in the world. It does not take much to break a diamond.
Still think about it. You can't make it more powerful, you can't make it more powerful against undead or arthropods, you can't make it catch fire, you can't make it do anything else but shoot them and blow them back.
Enchantments should go to level 50 to add more variation. That could be one example. I don't like the people who say it is not a fighting game. If it was not, there would not be any fighting of any kind.
But I am tired of pulling the bow out to max power then hitting a zombie and just getting a 'hit marker'.
We need something which kills in one shot but takes more time to reload- this would make minecraft adventure maps more strategic than just running into all the zombies with your sword.
On the weapons topic there should also be NPC enemies.
Zombies should definately spawn with weapons occasionally.

Maybe that's why we don't get our arrows back off mobs.
Zombies have an armour rating though.
We are the champions my friend! And we'll keep on fighting till the end! We are the champions, we are the champions!
