I hope this is the right place to ask this, but I am starting to slowly figure out how to mod and I would like to know more about how the projectiles work in game

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

projectile elite_mass_bodkin_arrow

effect arrows_new_set
end_effect arrow_impact_ground_set
end_man_effect man_impact_tiny_set
end_package_effect arrow_impact_wall_set
end_shatter_effect arrow_impact_ground_set
end_shatter_man_effect man_impact_tiny_set
end_shatter_package_effect arrow_broken_impact_wall_set

effect_offset -1.5
damage 0
radius 0.1
mass 0.08
accuracy_vs_units 0.0385
min_angle -80
max_angle 70
velocity 28 60
display aimed
effect_only

Could someone help me by explaining what exactly all of that means for in game units?

Edit: One thing I wanted to add about velocity that I don't think is mentioned there is that in general for arrows and bolts, the higher the max velocity, the more devastating the arrows/bolts will be. Higher velocity and lower angle shots do a lot more damage than higher angle and lower velocity.

I understand everything but what area does when added to projectiles?

[Gigantus]

Probably the impact zone.
