First, it's ammunition only. But what defines something as ammuntion? A common rock is ammunition for a sling. A straight stick is ammunition for a bow. Coins can be rather effective spray ammunition for a shotgun (if you don't mind your shotgun being destroyed eventually...). In fact, there's a video where literally all they do is put odd stuff in a shotgun and fire it as ammunition. Here'sone with just pens, pencils and crayons. Ammunition can literally be anything, so it's a very broad term.

Heck, there's such a thing as a potato gun. It uses potatoes as ammunition.

Second, why ammunition? Why not everything of a certain size or shape, or everything made of a certain material? I'm looking at this from a personality point of view, which a semblance is heavily influenced by, but also a practicality and utility point of view. Why only ammunition? It feels very...limited if you ignore my previous point about ammunition being anything and stick to standardised ammunition for firearms.

The terms are a bit too vague for my liking, and the parameters are a bit odd. First of all, bullets were decided because the weapon used uses bullets. Due to the size of bullets, they are easier to handle. I chose ammunition because of the process of psychic inanimate possesion. The power is focused through the bullets, the bullets react accordingly, and they fire off.
