Default Crossbows

What I know about archery:

1. the feathers go to the rear.

2. the point goes to the front.

Someone tell me about crossbows. The medieval kind, not the modern kind.
Would they penetrate armor?
Could an armored soldier use one, i.e. did he have enough mobility in armor?

The projectiles were called...bolts?
What were bolts made of?
