Which of these weapon classes DO NOT appear in the first Monster Hunter game?

The Bow weapon class does not appear in the first Monster Hunter game. Unlike the other weapon classes which focus on close combat, the Bow is a ranged weapon that allows players to attack at a distance. The developers may have chosen to exclude the Bow class in the first game to keep the combat mechanics simple and focused on melee weaponry, giving players a more traditional hunting experience. However, the Bow weapon class was introduced in later installments of the Monster Hunter series, adding more versatility and tactical options for players.
