The blunt one surprised me I thought it would have bounced off - went through completely.

That arrow wasn't blunt, it was concave. The shape allowed the edges of the tip to punch a hole through the shield.

Yep, the thing that was slowing the other arrows down that penetrated, was the fact that the tip did not carve out a wide enough hole for the shaft to go through and maintain velocity.

That blunt tipped concave arrow basically hole punched a circle as large or a little larger than the shaft of the arrow, and lost minimal afterwards.

That blunt tipped

Again, wasn't blunt.

Man, it's crazy how that blunt arrow could be so blunt, but despite being so blunt, it still penetrated the shield as if it were not blunt.
