Appearances
Final Fantasy XII
Bowgun is the weakest crossbow, providing 40 Attack, 5 Evade, 28 CT, and 7% Critical Rate. It requires the Crossbows 1 license to equip, and can be bought for 3,800 gil at Rabanastre and Jahara or as a gift from Supinelu in Jahara by giving him the Jaya Stick.

It can be bought for 880 gil at Rabanastre, Nalbina Fortress, and Barheim Passage, found at Garamsythe Waterway (No. 10 Channel (Flooded)), or stolen from Alraune (3% chance).
Final Fantasy Tactics
The bowgun is the weakest crossbow, providing 3 attack and 5% weapon defense. It has the range of 3–4 and can be bought for 400 gil at an outfitter after meeting with Dycedarg at Eagrose Castle in chapter 1, and is also a rare treasure at Siedge Weald. Low level enemies who can wield crossbows may spawn with a bowgun.
Crossbows can be wielded by archers, onion knights, sky pirate, and divine knight, though any job can equip them if the character has equipped the ability Equip Crossbows of the archer. Weather effects and nighttime will penalize crossbows' accuracy and Archer's Bane raises evasion against bolt attacks. Crossbows are sold in castle towns and the Clockwork City of Goug.
