Best Light Bowgun Weapons in Monster Hunter Now

Weapon Choice	Monster	Description
Jagras Blitz	Jagras	This is a Light Bowgun that has the Water element. It is a potent early-game option, especially against monsters that are weak to Water, such as Kulu-Ya-Ku, Great Girros, Tobi-Kadachi, and Anjanath. It is an excellent choice for early progression with the Light Bowgun
Thunder Blitz	Tobi-Kadachi	This is the only Light Bowgun that has the Thunder element. It is essential for progressing past encounters with the Raths, which are a group of flying wyverns that include Rathalos and Rathian. They are weak to Thunder on their wings and head.
Madness Rifle	Jyuratodus	This is the best Water Light Bowgun in the game. It has better stats and ammo types than the Jagras Light Bowgun, which is another Water option. It can use more versatile ammo types, such as Normal, Pierce, Spread, and Sticky. It is a good choice for fighting monsters that are weak to Water, such as Kulu-Ya-Ku, Great Girros, Tobi-Kadachi, and Anjanath
Lumu Blitz	Paolumu	This is the raw option for Light Bowguns. It has high raw damage and no element. It is supposed to be better than Thunder and Water Light Bowguns, since Light Bowguns do not have access to elemental attack skills. Elemental attack skills are skills that increase the damage of elemental attacks. This is a choice for those who prefer raw damage over exploiting elemental weaknesses.
Flame Blitz	Rathalos	This is the stronger Fire Light Bowgun of the two available. It has some challenges with pierce ammo, which can pierce through the monster and hit multiple times. However, it excels in shredding through fire matchups, which are monsters that are weak to Fire, such as Legiana.
Blazing Rifle	Anjanath	his is a popular Fire Light Bowgun choice, especially for using fire sticky and fire ammo. Fire sticky ammo is a type of ammo that sticks to the monster and explodes after a delay. Fire ammo is a type of ammo that deals fire damage to the monster. This is a well-rounded option for dealing with fire-element monsters, such as Legiana.
Snow Blitz	Legiana	This is the only Ice Light Bowgun in the game. It is essential for fighting Diablos, a monster that is weak to Ice and has high defense.
