The lack of ammo can be mitigated simply by carrying the materials to craft more of them in the field. The recoil isn't too much different than it was before, but the lack of wyvernsnipe and most HBGs not being able to use wyvern's fire was a big disappointment for me. LBG feels like it got something of an upgrade, but the lack of ammo types it can utilize feels like it got nerfed.

While I can see the benefits of constitution, I would argue evade extender/window would also be a good choice in skills, if not better as the LBG tends to draw a lot of aggro with constant attacks. I had a difficult time getting out of the way of the likes of 🌠Uth Duna and G. Arkveld and many monsters that utilize their size and weight.

I use lance, hunting horn, and recently the light bowgun and have had a blast with all 3. LBG isn't complicated and at times even feels like I'm shooting at dinos with a submachine gun turꦗok style.
