Plain and simple, if it fires a projectile through the use of explosive force, it is a gun. A muzzle loader is a gun, a .22 rim fire is a gun, a 30-06 center fire is a gun, a 50mm howitzer is a gun, .....can ya see where I am going with this......etc.
If it fires a projectile using force derived from a string and bow it is a BOW!!!!! Since when held upright it looks like a cross it is referred to as a cross bow. simple enough for you????
