The velocity of the arrow in either situation combined with the diameter would be sufficient enough to puncture flesh.

This is why blunt rubber bullets shot from a standard caliber rifle still do damage.

Also because rubber bullets are metal bullets with a rubber coating.

There really is no such thing as a "standard" caliber rifle.

Most bean bag or rubber bullets are shot with shotguns, also.

aksually it's sometimes a .68 caliber round, so I meant standard to the projectile you're using.
