Answer 3

A dart is a small, narrow object with a sharp point which can be thrown or shot whereas an arrow is a long thin weapon which is sharp and pointed at one end  and which often has feathers at the other end.

The arrow is shot from a bow , but the dart is thrown by hand.

Answer 4

I've yet to see someone arrow into the supermarket to "pick up a couple of things" yet people seem to dart in for the same!

Answer 5

Dart is small sharp weapon, normally aimed at smaller targets and at shorter distance. Whereas an arrow is longer and is fired using a bow to travel a larger distance. Arrow causes more damage than a dart as it can penetrate much deeper into the target

Answer 6

There really isn't much difference between the two...but darts are usually smaller than arrows; javelins and atlatl projectiles are sometimes called "darts", yet they are longer than arrows -- by at least 1 1/2 feet. They can both have a metal tip and fletching of some kind -- or not. They can be made of any durable, flexible, strong material which can be formed into a dowel (metal, wood, plastic, fibre-glass, etc).

Both can be thrown, shot from a bow, shot from a ballista, shot from a gun...but arrows are most commonly shot from a bow, where darts are most commonly thrown by hand.

And I actually have "arrowed" in to a store, just to pick up some bread and milk -- I knew exactly where I was going and went straight to it. :-)
