    I'm I correct in assuming using a +1 bow/sling/crossbow with normal ammo is the same as using a normal bow/sling/crossbow with +1 ammo?

    Are the weapons and ammo effects additive? If, say, you use a +2 sling with +2 bullets, does this count as a +4 weapon?

    No, you would be incorrect in that assumption. Enchantment bonuses on missile firing weapons do not normally apply to the missile's ability to hit monsters that are immune to weapons below a certain enhantment level.

    For example, if a monster needs weapons of +1 or better to hit, you would not be able to hit it with a +1 bow and normal arrows, but you would with a normal bow and +1 arrows.

    The bonuses are cumulative for adding to your to-hit roll though...
