The description of the Crossbow refers to the projectiles as "special bolts" and it is a crossbow so that should be the correct term. The article refers them as syringes. So should the article refer to them as bolts or should it just remain as syringes? My vote would be bolt since that is what the actual item itself calls them.

Bolt vs Syringe
The description of the Crossbow refers to the projectiles as "special bolts" and it is a crossbow so that should be the correct term. The article refers them as syringes. So should the article refer to them as bolts or should it just remain as syringes? My vote would be bolt since that is what the actual item itself calls them. Mediarch

- I think either works, but neither is preferable. A crossbow projectile is called a bolt, but in this case the projectile is a syringe, so neither is incorrect and neither is more correct than the other.

- If that's the case then it should probably use them a bit more interchangeably. Currently it seems like it's biased towards and prefers Syringe. 25 uses for Syringe vs 7 for Bolt. Obviously some of that is unavoidable because of the update history and such but a bit more bolt would not hurt and could spice it up a little. Mediarch

- I'm not sure that it's much of a problem, the strategy pages refer to them as bolts quite a bit too.
