This is where my quivers come in. If you aren't holding an appropriate
missile do_shoot will check for a quiver with missiles that match
the weapon type. Quivers can also be missile type specific, e.g. arrows
only, or they can be vnum specific. I also have a returning flag that
can be set on the weapon (bow, etc.), the missile, or the quiver. Any
thing fired from a weapon, or taken from a quiver, or a missile with the
flag will automatically return to the firer's grasp.
The players like it, as they can have their throwing knives hidden away
in boots, and everyone likes their boomerang grenades ;P
I have something similar for scabbards.
