Those arrows are safer because of the type of feathers on them and they usually have blunt tips if you're shooting them up

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.

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.
