Many games have ammo. In some, you can design your own. Ammo is put in a weapon and fired as a projectile.
Assault Rifle refers to a basic design of a weapon that combines the abilities of older long-range rifles and the rapid fire of sub-machine guns. Common designs include the M-16, M-4, AK47 (and 74), and the L85A1.
Vertical grip used to reduce recoil.
Shotguns that can fire semi or fully automatically
Also known as "body armor", ballistic vests are designed to stop various firearm rounds. Commonly worn by soldiers and police.

A bomb is an explosive device.
This term can refer to both a visible shot onscreen in a shooter, or a round that has been fired from or currently loaded into a weapon.

Suppressors deafen the sound of a gunshot. Can be attached to most weapons.
The weapon of choice for accuracy at long distances. The sniper rifle's slow rate of fire makes it ineffective for close range combat, but its high calibre round ensures that it inflicts maximum damage against the target.
A firearm capable of firing pistol ammunition automatically. Favored for shorter distances, or dealing death indoors.
A burst of electricity is sent via two wires into an attackers body, instantly disabling. Although designed as a non-lethal weapon, some villains found it to be little less non-lethal than expected!
