Today I found out that SPK on Sony was actually produced by Gawari's swastik. No wonder its gross distortions looked heavily inspired by Starbharata. 🤢

Suryaputra Karna had nothing to do with the historical Mahabharata
It was a fanfiction on Star Mahabharata
The people here didn't carry an arrow, they would just pull the bow and an arrow will magically appear at pin point

Didn't SP's Mahabharat show the same thing? 🤔
I was really baffled in first few episodes how the arrows are coming but then got their funda. 😆 I think they took the creative liberty a bit too far. They perhaps found it difficult to maintain the continuity about when they should be having a quiver & when they should not....since they made them fight at the drop of hat anywhere possible. Also I guess they were heavily impressed by the idea that reciting mantras, you could turn an arrow into a divine weapon and thought to take this thing a step further and showed that you don't need to keep the arrows with you physically. Reciting mantras will make them appear on their own.
To be totally honest, I didn't mind their "creativity" that much....everything is being modernised, why not this? But because of this idea they could not show (maybe did not want to?) that Arjuna got 2 inexhaustible quivers with which he could keep up the speed and anybody would have killed to have such a quiver. With their representation everyone had inexhaustible quivers with them🤓 And no one could ever run out of weapons in that way
What people forget is that Mahabharata was written as Kavya. Hyperbole and metaphors abound.
Inexhaustible quiver doesn't mean literally inexhaustible. Akshaya patra didn't actually have endless supply of food until Panchali ate; it only meant she ate last.
It's like saying "Aishwarya Rai is the rose of female beauty" which doesn't mean she is actually a rose. Or Byron's "she walks in beauty like the night" doesn't mean the lady in question is the incarnation of the night.
The characters likely talked normally and didn't address each other as "slayer of Keshi" or "bull of Bharata race" or "she of deep bosoms and elephantine gait."

Definitely they are hyperboles
As I had said in another topic even the ages of characters and rough time estimates given are something to indicate, definitely they didn't mean it literally
In fact even the 18 akshauni number is a hyperbole meaning a huge number of soldiers, 18 akshauni is roughly 400k soldiers, that wouldn't have even been the male population of India in 1000BCE and definitely not everyone participated

It depends on whether you wish to keep the divinity aspect involved in the story or not. If the involvement of the Deities & their boons / curses, the divine weapons etc can be considered to be real, then things like inexhaustible quivers, invincible bows, akshay patra etc can also be assumed to have existed. It totally depends on how you interpret.
About inexhaustible quivers, it is clearly mentioned that Arjuna himself asked for a mighty bow that could bear the strength of his arms & an inexhaustible supply of arrows that can keep up with his speed.
Bibhatsu told the fire, who wished to burn down Khandava, despite being restrained by Shatakratu.“I have many excellent and divine weapons with which I am capable of fighting many wielders of the vajra. O illustrious one! But I do not possess a bow that can bear the strength of my arms and withstand the strength and speed I bring to battle. Because of my speed, I need arrows that are inexhaustible. My chariot cannot bear all the arrows that I desire. I want divine horses that are white and as swift as the wind. And a chariot that will shine like the sun in its energy and will thunder like the clouds. Nor does Krishna possess a weapon that can equal his valour and Madhava requires one to kill the nagas and demons in battle. O illustrious one! Tell us the means so that we may be successful and are able to restrain Indra from raining down on this extensive forest. O fire! We are ready to act according to our prowess. O illustrious one! But you should give us the means that can support us.”
With this much explanations, it is a metaphor?

Yes. Because it is physically impossible.
He is asking for weapons supply line here, not a quiver which produced its own arrows.
"Indra, we are in need of weapons for the war we plan. You have the means. Will you consider supplying us and keep the supply line going as long as I need it?" likely will not fit into anustubh meter. Hence, "I'm strong, I'm invincible, I'm an archer, I'm a man. I need an inexhaustible quiver."
