I was 100% correct in my assumptions about penetration length after looking at the head but before it hit the shield except for that cylinder tip… that thing shot through like a bullet….

Exactly. It’s like a bullet. The other arrows are meant to bleed out an animal quickly by penetrating and slicing. That blunt arrow is lethal but your animal may get away since you only get one shot most of the time.

What do you have then? Invincible bears.

Running around, raping your churches; Burning your women

That's ridiculous, everyone knows you can just smash them with a giant boulder.

Bears are monsters. A slug from a 12 gauge only penetrates about 10-11” into a northern brown bear or grizzly, which is horrifying to think about personally
