salvos
Rounds fired together
Salvos is the plural of salvo, a simultaneous discharge of artillery or firearms, or a sudden outpouring of something: The critics unleashed salvos of negative reviews.
In military contexts, a salvo coordinates fire for maximum impact.
Figuratively, salvos describes any coordinated attack or release: salvos of applause, opening salvos in a debate.
