'''Ammunition''' is a finite amount of items which are then fired for [[ranged combat]]. Ammo as a concept is limited to [[Throwing]] items; other [[ranged weapon]]s have infinite ammo.

==Useful Info==
Ammo can be fired with the '''f''' key. Throwing does not require a wielded item to use. Items thrown may then be recovered for future use, though items that fall into [[lava]] are lost, and items in [[deep water]] can only be recovered by an [[amphibious]] species. Items will stop where it hits a monster (if the projectile can only hit one monster), a location you specified via ('''f .'''), or at the end of [[LOS]]. [[Boomerang]]s return, so will be placed back in your inventory.

Monsters are not limited by ammo, with the sole exception of [[throwing net]]s.

===Mulching===
''Main Article: [[Mulch]]''

Ammunition may occasionally [[mulch]], which destroys the item and prevents infinite use. Bigger Throwing ammo mulches less often.
