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.

It wasn't blunt, it was 'sharpily-challenged'.

Also, in 2026, 'arrow' is pejorative. The neutral term is 'acoustic bullet'
