Length seems to have something to do with a physical property of the bow/crossbow itself which has a purpose which I dunno and effects that I dunno about.

I also dunno about frequency.

Range is, well, range. Would seem reasonable to estimate a range of 5000 to be the equivalent of 150 yards, therefore 1 yard = about 33.33 range units.

Speed is the speed at which the projectile travels. I don't believe a direct correlation to real life units of velocity would be necessarily possible or really at all useful.

Accuracy can be reasonably guessed to be the chance of the projectile hitting a certain sized target at a certain range. The value would be then for instance 60% for an inf. bow, 40% for a horseback bow, 7% for an arquebus, 12% for a musket, and so on.

Power is a value assigned to represent the weapons penetration power.

Reload is the amount of time it takes for the weapon to reload. Would seem that a value of 4 would correspond to something a bit more than a second, 3 about even on with a second.. of course it would fit more nicely if 4 = 1 sec and 3 = .75 sec but until we can understand more fully the way they handle this variable and whether their definition of reloading is the time it takes to simply get it READY to fire again or the time it takes to get it ready AND fire it. If it is the former then from my experience it would seem to .25 sec = 1 reload speed unit would make sense.

And is a gun is, well, whether or not its a gun (duh :-) ).

So there you are.
