Apparently bone arrowheads were much less lethal than the later metal ones.

When one examines historical accounts of individual murders, one comes away with the understanding that mankind is, as a whole, incredibly unjust and violent. From Cain's slaying of his brother up till today's more mechanized mayhem, it is clear that we have always needed a "Prince of Peace" to end the murderous plague. Jesus said, "For you are the children of your father the devil, and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies." (John 8:44) Our Lord will come to make war--executing the children of the devil and ushering in the actual rule of law--where justice will be exacted. He is a gracious, forgiving and loving Lord to those who believe in and trust Him, but He is also just, and those crying out for justice will be satisfied.
