Stand Still and Ranged Threat

First Post
I understand by using the AoO with the Ranged weapon even with the Stand Still will use up all AoO's for the round but I have a question based on ammunition. When using stand still am I actually firing ammunition out? If not then if I am using magically enhanced ammunition that deals more damage then does that add into the total reflex save too?

I imagine in the game the character is shooting a shot close to the target which makes them react by stopping in their tracks or something.

Any insight would be helpful.

I would say yes, you do shoot ammunition; making an attack with a missile weapon requires that you expend ammunition. You're still making an attack with the Stand Still feat, you just don't do any damage with it; therefore you expend ammunition to make the attack. As such, I'd say that additional damage you do - whether that's from magical ammunition, a magical ranged weapon, a high ability score or bullsh*t bonuses from feats or class abilities - also applies to the check, same as it does if you use a melee weapon.
