The bolts mentioned (crusade_bolt) are already used? I can't re-purpose models that are already in use and also don't need a replacement. The model is used by Hunting Bolts.
I don't know where you're getting the idea that the bolts are blunt, because they're not. They have an edge, and they do pierce. They're just wide at the sides, so it does more of a cut than a pierce in real life.

http://puu.sh/v2KHL/c437d9135a.jpg - bolt from the top.
Fanned / splayed bolt heads like this are better at punching through leather and cloth rather than metal armor. If there was a way to differentiate between cloth / leather and metal armor in Warband in the code, I would definitely make use of this bolt's shape to do more damage to cloth / leather targets rather than metal targets. But alas, it is not so.
The bolt looks fine. It functions fine in real life too. It was used for killing birds but it can also be used for killing people.
