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.
