[Marvel/DC] What is the justification for archer (e.g Green Arrow, Speedy, Hawkeye) characters in the Marvel and DC universe?

Is a rationale ever given to why they use a bow and arrow, rather than more advanced ranged weaponry?

Stealth. A bow and arrow is far more quiet than a gun.

Less injuries. Hawkeye could take down a mugger with a gun, yes, but it's easier to heal from an arrow in the shoulder than a destructive bullet.

Plus on the tiny chance of a miss...well an arrow would probably sink into a wall, not blast through it and kill someone in the next room.

P.S. Gadgets, too. Taser arrows! Puke-gas arrows! You don't even have to hit with those!
