- Note there is no ammo specifically for crossbows — all arrows are usable with both bows and crossbows (real world crossbow bolts are quite different from bow arrows).
[Ice Threaded Arrow] and [Iceblade Arrow] have an icy-blue glow, and seem to be the only way to apply a glow to a ranged weapon.- [The Macho Gnome's Arrow] was accessible on the PTR.

Cataclysm[]
As of April 2010, ammunition is planned to be removed for Cataclysm. The original plan to replace the current mechanic of mandatory per-shot consumable ammunition with "some new functionality that would continue to make ammunition a compelling element of game-play",[1] although announced as to be implemented in the patch 3.1.0, was delayed. During Blizzcon 2009, it was mentioned as one of the changes planned for Cataclysm. Either their plans didn't work as intended or they gave up on it, either way the plans were scrapped and it was decided that ammo would just be completely removed from the game. The existing ammunition bags will turn into large normal bags (amount of slots is unknown), but only if they're on hunters at the time of the change.
Cataclysm Class Preview: Hunter | 2010-04-09 16:00 | 
Nethaera
A major change coming for the hunter is the removal of ammunition. Guns, bows, and crossbows will now do damage without consuming ammunition at all. There will be no more ammo slot on the hunter’s character display. Any ammunition that a hunter has at the time of the change will become gray sellable items. Existing quivers will be converted into large bags -- though each hunter can only have one and non-hunters will not benefit from this change -- and we will not be making any additional quivers.
Notes[]
- Despite the removal of ammo, voicelines for races implemented during and after Cataclysm include lines relating to running out of ammo. The reason for this is unknown.
Patch changes[]
- Patch 4.0.1 (2010-10-12): Ammo has been removed from the game.
- Patch 3.2.0 (2009-08-04): The [Ultrasafe Bullet Machine] and [Saronite Arrow Maker] schematics have been simplified to create a full stack of the appropriate ammunition. No longer requires an anvil. Reduced the materials required to make this ammunition.
- Previously a [Saronite Arrow Maker] was created, that created 200 [Saronite Razorheads] per charge (10 charges).
