小知识
Soldiers carry their ammunition: the bullets and shells needed for their guns.
The word ammunition is used to describe the supply of shells or bullets used for a gun, as well as nuclear, chemical or biological matter that can be used in much larger weapons. But we also use it for metaphorical attack material. If you're trying to prove that your big brother is a jerk, your neighbor's story about how he kicked her dog is ammunition for your argument.

ammunition,munition。
这两个词都可作“弹药,军火”解。它们的区别在于:1.ammunition指从武器中射出的任何东西,如弹头、弹壳或导弹等,并包含气枪中射出的弹丸或地雷、炸弹、手榴弹及其引爆的药物等;而munition指兵工厂生产的军火,除弹药以外,还包括一切军事装备。2.ammunition还可用于比喻指用于争论中的事实或论据;而munition则不能。
