I really think this is a bug. I think a hunter which uses a crossbow, should stop hunting when he runs out of ammo. Without the ammo he will just get killed. Theres no point in him hunting after that. My hunter ran out of bolts and decided to go wrestle a wolf when he has no wrestling skills. Now hes dead. Which sucks...

That's called forward-planning. One should anticipate that hunter needs enough arrows and/or some skill in hammering(that's the skill for crossbow in melee)

Having a billion bolts laying around doesn't stop him from doing it. He grabs a stack, uses them up, then attampts to grapple the wolf.

I thought this got changed? It makes Crossbows really nearly useless, especially when you have a few marksdwarves. They just gonna kill themselves.

If a marksdwarf runs out of arrows and has no other skills to defend itself with well enough against its enemy, then it should run and try to get more ammo, otherwise it should wait in the meeting hall until some more are made.

Or unless it is told to use a different weapon.

This would be perfect.
