This page contains a list of all the types of missile weapons in ADOM. See missiles for ammo
Slings can be used to fire rocks, all types of sling bullets, potions, lumps of clay, and gems.
Bows can be used to fire all types of arrows.
Hand crossbows can be used to fire black hurthling quarrels and dark elven quarrels. Other types of crossbows can be used to fire all other types of quarrels.
While equipped, iron missile weapons cause 2 points of damage per turn to mist elf PCs. Wearing any type of gauntlets prevents this damage. Iron missile weapons are marked with a gray background in the list below.
