[@stick3915]

It's not about whether it's blunt or not. All of them are sharp. However, the arrowhead shape matters. Most of the arrowhead will leave either a hole in the shape of a flat line (for the flat arrows) or a triangular hole. However, the shaft of the arrow is cylindrical, which means it requires a circular hole for the entire arrow to pass through. Well, guess which arrowhead leaves behind a circular hole? Also, consider that one arrowhead like the blade inside a paper holepuncher. It's plenty sharp.

[@bernardosax]

[@ColtonJennings-qv5wq]

Oh my god, on the first riot shield vid people said these would bounce off metal. This dude did this out of spite, and im proud

[@Beriririi]

To explain: The arrow was shaped like a borehole drill with sharp bits at the edges, meaning it was made to make holes. The other arrows, made for flesh, rip/slice open the material, and like swords, get caught/stop with enough friction rubbing on the sides of the blade. The 'blunt' arrow literally drills a perfect circle, and since the shaft is smaller, there is no friction whatsoever to slow the arrow down. The tradeoff for this shield penetration would be it wont be doing much damage to the guy behind it as opposed to the bladed arrows since it'll be taking that chunk of circular metal it cut with it, effectively making it blunt

[@JimmyJim199]

[@mrhoneycutter]

Couldn’t have described it better myself, that said, just for additional context, there are a variety of blunt arrow tips/heads. There are ones that penetrate, like the one used in the video, while others are made to stun or fatally concuss a target. These arrow heads/tips are often used to hunt for small game that reside in trees, seeing as most sharp arrows would end up either getting stuck or end up pinning the target to the tree, resulting in an arrow and/or target becoming unretrievable (or at least very difficult to retrieve).

[@wongbangjing631]

A riot shield is a lightweight protection device, typically deployed by police and some military organizations, though also utilized by protestors. Riot shields are typically long enough to cover an average-sized person from the top of the head to the knees, though smaller one-handed models may also be used. They are generally intended to be used in riot control, to protect the user from melee attacks with blunt or edged weapons and also thrown projectiles, or non-lethal weapons such as rubber bullets and water cannons. They can also be used as short-ranged melee weapons to push back the opposing force. Most riot shields do not offer ballistic protection; ballistic shields are instead used in situations where heavily armed resistance is expected.

[@martinroberge8988]

no, arrows used against armor for medieval bows were made out of wood and much larger. the tactic was not to penetrate the plate armor, but to hit the mail in between. you would actually be surprised at how easy it was. of course this depends on the armor as later versions had very little caps. but believe it they were still dangerous, and knights still had to worry about arrows. anyways. medieval arrow tips cold never come close to penetrating steel plate armor.

[@redhongkong]

it works like hole cutter, thats why the entry point is a big opening for following shaft to go thru

[@TheHammerGuy94]

Basically similar principles as steel armor. Most steel armor immune to slashing and piercing damage. But when someone brings out anything blunt like a mace, a hammer or similar bashing weapons like baseball bats or sledgehammers, durability goes down the drain. That arrow head is the most aerodynamic blunt head I've seen by far.

[@belgianfried]

​@@porkchop4401 That is literally not how sabot rounds work. Every sabot round is different. 3BM42 has a very different performance against non-homogenous composites/laminates than M829A3. But as a general rule of thumb, most APFSDS KEPs use monolithic penetrators. They do not rely on the principle of plugging as a primary AP component. What you're looking at is plugging from a wz. 35-style penetration principle.

[@jerryalbus1492]

For thise wondering how the "hollow" bolt penetrated that clean - it's because the edge of the head are sharp, and it slices and entire circle into the shield, allowing the size of the arrow to go throught. Other arrows on the other hand, have sharp tips but the head has hooks and blades that would also come into contact in the shield after the initial tip. In other words, on the cone shaped heads, the small tip would hit first, cause reduction in the penetrating force, and that reduced force would be applied to the next points of contact and further reduce the penetration power further. Meanwhile the circular tip allows for a one-time application of force, concentrating the penetration power into one hit

It's not about whether it's blunt or not. All of them are sharp. However, the arrowhead shape matters. Most of the arrowhead will leave either a hole in the shape of a flat line (for the flat arrows) or a triangular hole. However, the shaft of the arrow is cylindrical, which means it requires a circular hole for the entire arrow to pass through. Well, guess which arrowhead leaves behind a circular hole? Also, consider that one arrowhead like the blade inside a paper holepuncher. It's plenty sharp.

Not quite. Each of those arrows is formulated for a different purpose. Several are designed for hunting and are meant to slow down/stop while inside their target to cause maximum internal damage. I also saw at least one arrowhead designed for fishing as well. In the case of hunting you actually don't want the arrow to punch straight through as it does less damage than if the arrow embeds itself in the target and stays there. The reason broadheads are so common and work so well is because very few animals/fish are known to run around carrying riot shields.

Bodkin arrows i know but broadheads? Broadheads are made for hunting large game so that was suprising.

[@kelleren4840]

This is because broad heads are designed to dig into flesh and rapidly slow down to get stuck in their target and cause maximum damage. This is effective because it's relatively uncommon for large game animals to run around with riot shields.

You gotta ask about the bow they were shot from. Looking at the arrows, I'm guessing it was a big'n

[@VoidManArc]

"Nah, that blunt arrow would bounce off the shield-" *"Sike!"*

[@JavierDt019]

*"Peaceful Protestants:"* Thank you

[@yoursleepparalysisdemon1828]

well protestants isnt exactly the wrong word

[@Bigmandan420]

the type of bow also can play a part to my knowledge. heavier draw weight means more speed, and more speed means more penetrative power. but ofc all that dont matter over all if ur using a wooden arrow that just breaks apart on contact lol

[@Rddr_]

Assuming the same bow is used, similar draw distance and each arrow has a similar weight this video does a great job of showing which head is the most effective for piercing the shield

[@Bigmandan420]

@@Rddr_ yh, I wasn't saying that's not true. I was more saying that a heavier draw weight than average bows could maybe be pushing some of the arrow types further than they realistically would on other more standard weight consumer bows, if that makes sense

[@pedrinhosales3224]

​@@Rddr_ and this kind of shield is made to control civilians, wich means that is made to block punches, sticks, probably knifes and throwing objects. It is not made for arrows and bullets

Рекомендую вам предположить, что стрельба этими стрелами велась из тяжёлого арбалета, с натяжением 300+ кг. Или подобной системы.

Wooden arrows are actually some of the sturdiest arrows, only really switched away from them for lighter materials, and carbon arrows are more sturdy

That blunt fist looking tip doesn’t fuck around

I went out of my way to say "that one will *definitely* not go through". I stand corrected and laughed pretty hard xD

[@bloodlove93]

i feel personally attacked lol i was the quiet kid and I've always enjoyed archery.

[@Cinaedfireborn]

Am I the only one who thought, well this is going to be interesting at the site of the little hollow one? All the narrowest ones were the ones that were actually puncturing the shield so I actually guessed that it would pierce it. I wasn’t expecting it to go right through though.

[@jcope3886]

Arrow 10... Holy crap! I did not expect that one to be the most powerful.

[@mohankrishna2770]

Pointy is scary (Dictator) but hollow one is the real deal 😂

[@faizananwar949]

Haven't expected that from a hollow one

[@williambuchanan77]

It's crazy that there are arrows out there that can penetrate modern light armour.
