crossbow_bolt is a model entity available in Half-Life 2 series, Portal, and Source SDK Bases.

This is the projectile fired by weapon_crossbow.

Note:Uses model models/crossbow_bolt.mdl

Overview

The bolt can reflect if the angle is shallow enough, its gravity will increase at each bounce, making the bolt slow down. It will pass directly through func_breakable_surf. If the currently loaded map is ep2_outland_10, the bolt will pass through Alyx, instead of getting deleted because of the friendly fire mechanic.

Bug:Because the bolt has the ability to "pin" ragdolls and that it acts like a bullet (it can go through fences, for instance), ragdolls pinned agains a fence (or anything with CONTENTS_GRATE will try to get pinned to a bolt that is too far away, and will create unstable physics.
