-'''Bolts''' are the [[ammunition]] fired by [[crossbow]]s and [[Weapon trap|crossbow traps]].  Making bolts from [[wood]] or [[metal]] gives a stack of 25.  Making bolts from [[bone]] gives a stack of 5*number of [[bones]].  Any [[dwarf]] who is assigned a crossbow will also carry bolts, and use a [[quiver]] if one is available.

-Metal bolts are the most damaging, and are considered too valuable to be wasted on practice. Dwarves will carry metal bolts in their quivers, but will not fire them at [[archery target]]s. Wood and bone bolts will be used in practice, as well as combat, doing [[Weapon#Material_Damage_Effects|half the damage]] of iron bolts.
-Metal bolts are created at the [[metalsmith's forge]] and require [[weaponsmith]] skill.  Wood and bone bolts are created at the [[craftsdwarf's workshop]] and require [[woodcrafting]] and [[bone carving]] skills, respectively.
-Encrusting bolts with gems does nothing but improve their value. This can be considered as an [[exploit]] because doing so increases the value of a fortress by a ridiculous amount.
-In [[adventure mode]], bolts can also be thrown for about the same results as firing them, except that it uses the [[thrower]] skill.
