Bolts are the ammunition fired by crossbows and 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. Bolts are carried by any dwarf who is carrying a crossbow. A dwarf who wants to carry bolts will pick up a quiver and use it 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 targets. Wood and bone bolts will be used in practice, though they are still effective in combat.
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.
Bolts can also been thrown for about the same results as firing them, except that it uses the thrower skill.
