I didn't know thats what bolts were... To me crossbows use arrows, just because it a couple of inches shorter the what bows use doesn't mean its any different, but it seems like some forums get offended when I say arrows for crossbow....
They ARE just arrow. Just shorter and thicker, in fact, less ballistically efficient that arrows for vertical bows. Until stronger material is discovered, they have to be that way to prevent flexing (archer's paradox) when released. Now you can elucidate em, eh? Problem with calling them bolts is that it differentiates the crossbow as a sinister weapon. Often been cited by the antis to preclude it's use as a bow.
