A heavy quarrel of close-grained hardwood, capped with a weighted turned-wood head or a cast-iron ball in place of a cutting point. Shot at close range, the heavy blunt breaks ribs, collarbones, and helms without drawing blood — useful against livestock, against an adversary the crossbowman wishes taken alive, or for clearing a crowded street at the bailiff’s order.
