Crossbow bolts can be fitted with a variety of heads, but the most common is a four-sided point called a quarrel.
This crossbow shows one of the simpler mechanisms for drawing a powerful crossbow: A strap is attached to the archer's belt, a hook on the end of the strap engaging the bowstring.
Crossbows were used in European warfare from roughly 800 to 1500 A.D. They almost completely superseded hand bows in many European armies in the twelfth century for a number of reasons.

 Quarrel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A quarrel is the technical term for the most common head of a crossbow bolt, so called on account of its square shape (from the Latin quadrus -- "a square").
Bolts fall at the same rate, independent of the speed of flight.
Arrows, in contrast, depend on gaining lift in flight, and hence have their centre of balance at a point about 9% of their length forward of their center.

Crossbows were more useful for hunting and siegecraft than in open battle, where their slow rate of fire was a serious handicap.

 ABD Crossbow Bolts   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
"Fellwalker" ABD crossbow bolts began active experimental combat use in Caid in January of 1998 and were approved for SCA-wide use at the April 1999 BOD meeting after successful multikingdom use at the Estrella War.
The Fellwalker ABD bolt is designed to be used with golftube crossbows, which in most places have an upper limit of 840 inch pounds and an SCA maximum of 1000 inch pounds.
As such, ABD bolts for golftube bows should be safe for use with that maximum.

 Crossbow bolts as physics items? - Halflife2.net
They act pretty much like big crossbow bolts, pinning people to walls and such, and you can pick em back up using the gravity gun and use em as many times as you like.
My theory of why Valve didnt do it is because they wanted a long-range sniping weapon affected by gravity, to show off that part of their engine, but it had to be more powerful than the regular guns because you got it later in the game.
Well, having a reusable crossbow bolt would have meant the player could complete the game with just a crossbow bolt and the gravity gun, which Valve obviously didn't want, as they wanted people to be frugal with ammunition, and try all the weapons.

Rakshasas are from indian myth but I don't know the backstory on their crossbow bolt vulnerability except that it has been there since 1e.
By having it common knowledge that a 1st level cleric with a crossbow can kill the toughest Rakshasa with one shot, you completely pull the teeth on what should be a powerful monster and make them (quite literally) a joke.
Think of the crossbow bolt in broad terms, as a weakness that allows even the humblest warrior to kill a mighty demon in the right circumstances.
