From what I have been able to test, the NPC swing/attack speed are not afflicted at all by AttackDelay in NPCDesc.cfg, nor by npc.delay_mod := ms, but are controlled solely by the intrinsic weapons Speed in Itemdesc.cfg.
Did I misunderstand something, or is this a bug?

Dunno, Would have to ask Shini on that one if it is by design or not.
I believe the same problem applies to AttackMinRange and AttackMaxRange, since all NPC with "AttackMinRange 0" and "AttackMaxRange 2" has a range of 0 to 1.

Are you using AttackSpeed in the template for the npc also?

AttackSpeed is what is checked to build the NPC Intrinsic weapon off the NPCTemplate itself.

Since we're somewhat on the subject, what exactly does the core check for the projectile that goes between the NPC and its target? I've tried just about every combination I can think of and its still shooting invisible stuff.

Basically, you create a bow/etc, then mark it as intrinsic for that npc type
If i remember right, my LBR/AOS package i made years ago, included examples for multiple types of intrinsic weapons and how to link them.
Weapon 0xF020
{
Name Wrestling
Speed 38
Damage 1d8
Attribute Wrestling
Graphic 1
Anim 0x9
MissSound 0x234
HitSound 0x13E
MaxHP 1
Intrinsic 1
skill -1
SaveOnExit 0
}
I of course have many NPC with different AttackSpeed, AttackMinRange, AttackMaxRange in the NPCdesc.cfg but all NPC are using the same speed and range (range 0 to 1 and what seem to fit speed 38 )

Nice to know.
Next, what if you change the intrinsic weapon's entry? Will that affect them all? (Without searching, trying to see if intrinsic weapon entry overrides template).

Austin has made changes with the NPCDesc entry so that Projectiles are supported directly for the template-built intrinsic weapon now.
I will also look into fix for speed/delay porting over like it should.
