The HERC CB-1 is a bow featured in The Last Stand: Dead Zone.
Background[]
In order to cope with the limited supply of munitions, HERC has turned to new weapons in order to fight the everlasting threats of the Dead Zone. Taking a competition bow and adding a scope and a sight to increase accuracy along with stabilizers and dampers to reduce movement of the bow and absorb recoil, makes it perfect for the hunting of both living and undead game.
Equipped by HERC operatives.
