300 human/elf/dwarf/goblin/kobold bodies 20 random animal/fish/bird bodies and 3 dragon bodies all in one backpack. fun stuff.

Iron is better for any weapon other than blunt type (crossbows & warhammers) in comparison to silver.

Crossbows use blunt damage in melee unless you modded in a stabbing/slashing attack, the material type has no affect on the bolts fired  :)

Silver weapons are not made normally, you'd better stick to iron weapons or steel if you find them. Copper works great for blunt weapons as it is heavier than the rest.

(P.S. Don't try shooting at point blank range, if they see you then you might have some trouble getting free alive.)

Tempered in the blood of elves, mined with a pick made of the bones of children. Hammered with a skull.

Yep, made just like everything else in DF.

The entire page is very useful. One of my most viewed wiki pages.
