Definition
Everything you load into a weapon to make it useful—bullets, shells, rockets, and other implements of persuasion. In broader terms, it's also the metaphorical arsenal of facts, arguments, or dirt you've collected to use against someone in a debate or conflict. Because sometimes words are weapons too, just significantly less regulated.
Example Usage
The leaked emails gave the opposition all the ammunition they needed to discredit the campaign.
