Do troops use multiple projectile weapons for more ammo?

Asking as I'm making custom troops in Morgh's Editor. Warband v1.174

For example, if you have a troop has a sword, shield (guaranteed), and two copies of the same throwing weapon in their inventory, does that fill all 4 equip slots for double ammo ingame or will they only use one? How about different throwing weapons? Ammo for bows/crossbows?

If I'm right they only pick one item per weapon type, e.g. they would not pick two one-handed swords but only one, so that's the same for ranged weapons and ammo (arrows/bolts/cartridges). This happens even when you use two different items of the same type - I tried with firearms in my mod: one of the troops I use has two rifles in its inventory. Half of the units spawn with the first rifle and the other half spawn with the second rifle. But I have never seen any of them have both rifles in their weapon slots.

That's the same principle with ammo, so you may need to work on a new item with more ammo to be used only by bots, but so that the human player would need two items
