The Crossbow is a widely used prop in the film. The humans use them through out as protection from the Vampires. The Arrows are dipped in a small layer of holly water to ward of the Vampires after they have been shot. The Crossbow is used as a great Motif in the way that it helps make the humans individual different to the Vampires. It helps you remember that they are human and not Vampires.
The use the crossbows with no fear and will strike at any time for the protection that they need. Through out the film they use it to protect them from Ethan Hawks character, they know that he won't hurt them but they use it anyway as a sign to say that I'm more powerful then you and that humans will rise once again. In the past Crossbows have been used in manny other movies. One film is Van Helsing when human Character Van Helsing(Played By Hugh Jackman. He uses the crossbow for the some thing and the similarities between the two characters is very alike.
