Projectile
Projectiles are objects thrown by you or a monster, or shot with a launcher.
Thrown objects
Any item can be thrown (and thus be considered a projectile) if the entity throwing it is strong enough. Use the [t]hrow command to provide a list of readily-thrown items. You can expand this list to include your entire inventory by pressing [*].
Thrown items may receive a penalty to hit if there is an appropriate launcher (see below) for the item

To get the most out of the appropriate , you need to [w]ield the appropriate launcher and also [Q]uiver the relevant ammunition. Then you can [f]ire in an appropriate direction, possibly resulting in multiple shots, or throw the ammunition to fire a single shot. With an appropriate launcher wielded, you receive no penalties for either throwing or firing ammunition.
