Ammunition
Physical Objects
Ammunition refers to physical items used with weapons, not the weapons themselves.

The gun was ready, but they needed to find ammunition.
Variety of Forms
Ammunition comes in different forms like bullets, shells, or cartridges, specific to the weapon.

For the shotgun, you need to buy shotgun shells, not rifle ammunition.
Not Always Bullets
Not all ammunition is in bullet form; it includes any projectile fired from a weapon.
