Arrows SPIN. Regardless of the orientation of the head when fired, it is rotating and could cut any which way upon impact as it is doing 360s. Of course a tiny blade cutting someone in half is already well beyond physics but the idea that it can cut the body whichever way is actually correct. The feathers are what spin the shaft which provides ballistic stability; they are oriented like a fan blade to guide air over them creating a rotational force which increases accuracy and distance as well as, for hunting tips, a cutting action for improved bleedout.
