Advantage of the Pilum over Bows and Arrows?
#2
How far can you shoot an arrow? How far can you toss a pilum?

This is apples to oranges, I think. Each weapon was used entirely differently, not to mention that archers generally trained thier entire lives to shoot war bows effectively in combat.

Lots more can be said, but I think it is safe to not bother comparing the two.

Hope that helps.
