A 16" carbon crossbow arrow at 7.3 grains per inch with an 20 grain aluminum insert and 100grain point and no nock(i don't think the arrow shooter use one) with 3 8.8 grain 4" vanes would be around 263 grain or so . There are lighter and heavier shafts and components out there but that should hopefully give you an idea .

I suppose they would be bolts, and not arrows though, huh?
When I was using the launcher it was partial to low psi. Higher psi just didn't seem to push the arrows very fast. Even still, I only got about 200fps with a 231 grain arrow (21fpe). This is before I got my Cothran valve. I still have the launcher on my person. I need to try it with the PowerHouse valve. Just so loud. If anyone wants the name of the guy who made it send me a PM. He can tell you more.Joe

I suppose it is sort of like the magazine and clip deal .
