There are a lot of features that have been set to the side for some reason, like ammunition. The homebrew creator really needs a giant overhaul to be completely honest.
I've got to comment since I just found this post, after being unable to create ammunition. (My workaround was creating them as the weapon, so now my player has multiple bows listed under actions.) The dedication of Talklikeaduck is impressive! Maybe one day it will get fixed.
None of those work as a template. If you attempt to create a new ammunition using the copy base item it needs the tag for weapon type. It doesn't have ammunition as a tag so it fails to save. The original post from 4 years ago shows him attempting to change the name 'of slaying' to a particular name and it fails.
I just tried it myself today. That's what made me check the forum. I could not create a new arrow of slaying, there is not an ammunition option. I made them longbow so it at least matched what the player is using
One day... Just not sure which will happen first magic arrows in D&D Beyond or Star Citizen.

It's 2025. Still no update. lol
Hard to believe four and a half years have gone by. So many things have changed in the world... but alas not this.

"Magical ammunition" with what property?
There's magical ammunition already in both DMGs.
Heck, more than 1 type book has magical ammunition to use as a design template.
Is OP asking for a "magical ammunition" category/flag?
Because there are FAR more than the arrow of slaying that can be used as a template.

Once made Maxwell's Silver Hammer come down upon Strahd's head to make sure he was dead.
Always study & sharpen philosophical razors. They save a lot of trouble.

Is there an example from after those 4 years?

Yeah, the workaround is to just have a magic item create single-use magic ammunition that is instantly destroyed after usage.
A lot of magic items around 2023 started doing that.
