From experiments, the C for ammo does not stand for Combat, it means Carry. For example, if a allotment of bolts is T, their quivers, will remain empty, till its time for archery practice.Then they will grab some. If its set C, they will go to practice, fire off what they grabbed, then get another 25, and go about their business, until time for target practice,then repeat. the bolt issue, stems from the uniform(trade out for the best equip). This has priority in the C(combat)coding for bolts. So reserve the best bolts for siege, and ambush conditions

I got 4 legendary marksdwarves as the royal guard that arrived with the queen, and I can confirm that they can at least hunt crundles rather effectively.  Two of them managed to take out a total of three goblins during the last siege before running out of ammo...  they would be a lot more effective if they only fired until a target was disabled, retreating, or had taken a 'good shot' (eg: when they see an enemy fall over, pass out, or bleed heavily after getting shot)
