What ammo type would you expect to find that consists of at least 2 words?

What ammo type would you expect to find that consists of at least 2 words?

Shotgun Shells.

Full Metal Jacket.

Sniper/ect/ect Rounds.

with a small SMALL thinking that the word could be something like "secret of mana" ( 1993 game )

[Gaspar]

I mean its something related to a multi-player shooting game... how many options can there be? Also, I feel like we need to learn if we're going broad or specific here.

Is the magic word something only an aficionado of these games would know? (i.e. everyone knows about wonders and Civ, but only aficionados know about ICS or wide vs tall etc.)

Alright, so generic-ish term, should be easy enough to guess from here.

[Lewwyn]

Shall we make a list of games?
Multiplayer Shooting games

Call of duty
Battlefield
Overwatch
Titanfall
Team Fortress
Counter Strike
PBUG
Day Z

GTA Online (has guns right?)



I'm not as sure about a lot of multiplayer shooting games, I have played most of these though. Anyone else add?

Should we make a list of things they have in common?

Shooting
Guns
Medic / healers / bandages
movement
sprint
First person
Kill shot
Critical shot
Head shot
360 no scope
Hip shot
Mechs
sentries / turrets
game objectives
game mode
capture the flag
kill count
death ratio
survival
Deathmatch
team deathmatch



What do you guys think?

[Gaspar]

I can think of Rainbow 6, Valorant and Unreal Tournament that go along the same lines.

In terms of terms, I'm absolutely terrible at those games so I never play them, but in terms of phrases:

First Person
Snipe
Flick Shot
Gank


Not sure which of any of these really qualify but its what I can think of off the top of my head.

[superdeath]

Is the game First person? would be my next logical guess.

[Lewwyn]

It's not a physical thing and it exists outside of games.

So Lewwyn's list is good overall but we can cross some things like guns, medic, bandages.

Yeah I meant those in terms of like jumping off points for people to think about other more than 1 word phrases.
