munition
Bullet or bomb
Munitions are military weapons, ammunition, and equipment—the materials of warfare.
The word appears almost exclusively in plural: munitions factory, munitions depot.
As a verb, to munition is to supply with military materials, though this use is rare.
The singular munition occasionally appears in technical or legal contexts but sounds odd in ordinary speech.
