clarified distinction between the weapon and ammunition
Line 1: Line 1: −
'''Ammunition''' is an object propelled by a [[weapon]] such a a [[gun]] or a [[bow]]. In a more loose sense of the term, it can be used to refer to anything being thrown, shot, or otherwise projected towards a target. It is commonly referred to as "ammo", and most commonly spoken of in the context of a [[war]], the ammunition usually being [[bullet]]s.

'''Ammunition''' is an object propelled by a projectile [[weapon]] such a a [[gun]] or a [[bow]]. Whereas the weapon itself can be used over and over again, the supply of ammunition constantly needs to be replenished or the weapon becomes useless, except perhaps as a deterrant or show of force. In a more loose sense of the term, it can be used to refer to anything being thrown, shot, or otherwise projected towards a target. It is colloquially referred to as "ammo", and most commonly spoken of in the context of a [[war]], the ammunition usually being [[bullet]]s, [[grenade]]s, [[rocket]]s and other modern projectiles.
