Quarrel
A quarrel or bolt is the term for the
ammunition used in a
crossbow. The name "quarrel" is derived from the
French carré, "square", referring to the fact that they typically have square heads. They are typically shorter than traditional arrows and, though some may be longer, can be fired repetitively in some cases.
