What are you meaning by slug style?
 

Here is my favorite hafted scraper, probably an Otter Creek, from here in Central NY. I've also posted differing views of a strange hafted scraper found in Ontario, Canada. I exhibits unusual 'beveling' of the sharpend blade and edge, an unusual 'angle' I guess is how best I'd describe it.

Both are nice 👌
 

I hate to come in behind Gar after he posted those but here you go. End Scrapers and unifsced blades. A lot of the pictures didn’t come through as in hand singles. Most of these are from Kentucky. Some nice material in this frame.

Nice group; love the colors 👍
 

Fish Stick, you are correct about all those blunts being dart points. I suspect most were projectile points hafted to a stout dart. As they got damaged or worked down, they were repurchased to an end scraper . I am sure that is the case with the paleo examples i posted.
That said, Friley points are a true archery point that often made wide points obviously intended make a broad cut and limit penetration. These are an East Tx type from a heavily wooded area. I have heard it speculated that they were for squirrel hunting in trees. A miss would not likely leave the arrow stuck high in a tree yet would certainly cut a hole on a squirrel.
