Hammerhead Bolt

When the job is a door, these go in the ballista. Arrows bounce off a base, but a hammerhead bolt is heavy enough to batter a door from range, which gives a group without explosives a real way inside.

The usual situation: you've found a small wooden or stone base with one front door, the owners are online and shooting out of the windows. Walking up to that door is how you die. So you set up behind cover and knock it down from a distance instead. The mounted ballista can be towed into position by a horse, while the stationary one is meant for defending your own base.

Every bolt costs high quality metal, so don't waste them on walls, players or anything else. Vehicles are a job for the piercer bolt. And a broken door only helps if someone is ready to rush through it, so decide who goes in first before you fire.
