People set up to take on metas as it was. I mean if the prison staff couldn't handle taking a round of few big hits, how would they even keep the prison population in line, with them being able to throw fire, summon demons, emit radiation.|

Sounds more like equal footing.

Why should Longbow be attacking the Prison staff?
If those are the people set up to take on metas, why is longbow there? Why isn't Longbow letting them do their job?
Same thing with the RWZ. Longbow has no reason to be there when Vanguard are the ones specifically equipped to deal with Rikti.

I think the why for Longbow attacking/defeating the staff is just a bug to be honest. Or more so, just an unintentional consequence of how they set those encounters up.|

Longbow's response to the Arachnos breakout is fairly appropriate, imo. And the rivalry with vanguard and longbow is actually fairly detailed in the RWZ arc.
One sidenote though, the corrections staff at the Zig is more used to dealing with Metas that are in suppression cells.

I never have. I've seen them use it on cons who are (nominally) escaping whilst a guard has been there though and Longbow will be there to deal with the Arachnos threat primarily.
There are a couple of plot holes I agree - the most obvious is "How did I get my costume instead of the orange jump suit" but it's solid enough without questioning too much.

Rifles can use different types of ammo. Also generally a rifle wound is easier to recover from than the burn you would get from a flamethrower. Granted the City of Health Care is the greatest there is and can help recover from either readily enough.
Now with Longbow and this specifically from the perspective of the isles, they are doing more harm than good. Why is my Villain going to Agincourt and the surrounding areas of Nerva? To attack Longbow. If Longbow weren't there my villains would be limiting themselves to the Crey Buildings in the area. Away from where Civilians are likely to be. But since Longbow are in a place they have no business being, that place becomes a target for my Villains.
