Terroristic threats? The guy is a dangerous asshole but that is a little much

Brown remained in Adams County prison Tuesday night on bail of 10 percent of $10,000.

I was told there would be no math.

It wasn't an arrow.

He used a crossbow, thus it was either a bolt or a quarrel.

someahole: I know this guy was just threatening to stab the cops, but say he was sober and had an actual bow or crossbow. Here's my question: Will police body armor stop a longbow arrow or crossbow bolt?

That depends.

I would assume that a cut-on-contact broadhead, properly sharpened, would indeed penetrate the type of armor most police use.

Perhaps even those with a trochar tip and removeable blades, though I have my doubts.

Mechanical broadheads, or target or field points? Who knows? My guess, and it is only a guess, is probably not because they would be acting like bullets, trying to muscle through the fibers instead of cutting them like a decent cut-on-contact broadhead would do.

All bets are off though with armor that has trauma plates.

What a wuss. Real men don't need training wheels:

And why does this sound like a D&D conversation.

Don't know.

Quite frankly, I played D&D a couple times something like 25+ years ago, but I do have an interest in archery:







And how arrows penetrate non-standard targets:

What a shiatty attempt at rhyming.
