Part of it was crowdsourced to my fellow forumites, but a lot of that thread was just me, Google & Wolfram Alpha. You could probably still find it buried somewhere on the suggestions forum with that giant table of materials, material properties & sources.


Oh I did.

Incidentally, do you remember user Martin? The guy who made the original Morul?


Yes, not to mention many of the other forumites. Though I haven't been active over there for a while now.


Theres a really interesting thread on the way bolts and armor interact, I don't know if you caught it.


No, but I would like to read that. Link?


Here is the thread where the initial !!Science!! on whether bolt weight made an impact on their lethality - [Dwarven Research: The Effect of Bolt Weight on Crossbow Performance](http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=115683.0)

The results were converted on reddit into a LaTeX PDF, which is excellent reading - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2891221/DF%20study.pdf

This led to the follow up: A Comparison Study on the Effectiveness of Bolts vs Armors
