'''Ammunition''' (or '''ammo''') is the consumable items needed to operate nearly every ranged weapon in the game (with certain exceptions). In MazeWorld, the amount of damage dealt by a ranged weapon is usually determined by the ammunition, not the weapon itself, unlike a typical melee weapon. An easy-to-remember principle is this: "The thing that hits the target is the thing that has damage values". For a firearm, it would be the bullet (therefore, the ammunition). For a knife, it would be its blade (therefore, the weapon itself). And so on. As such, it is important to know which type of ammunition your weapons need, as it determines the base amount of damage a ranged weapon dealsdealt. There are different sub-types of ammunition as well, which further modify the amount of damage dealt or the way it damages specific targets. They will be explained in detail in the pages below.

* The '''projectile type'''. The type of projectile (or projectile'''s''', in some cases) fired may change the way it damages targets.* The '''pressure level''' or '''hotness level'''. This applies primarily only to firearm calibers; they may be loaded with more or less powder, therefore making them "colder" or "hotter". Hotter ammunition is more powerful, but more dangerous in case of a critical failure.* The '''powder quality'''. This applies primarily only to firearm calibers. Powder quality has no effects on damage or regular performance, but does affect the amount of Condition lost on a critical failure. Certain calibers, such as arrows or grenade launcher rounds, do not have pressure levels or powder quality.

* '''Full metal jacketed (FMJ)''', '''Armor piercing (AP)''', '''00 Buckshot (Buck)''' and '''Broadhead arrow (BRD)''' are different types of '''projectiles'''.* '''High pressure (+P)''' and '''Standard pressure (SP)''' are different types of '''pressure level'''.* '''Surplus powder (Surp)''' and '''Premium powder (Prem)''' are different types of '''powder quality'''.

When you find ammunition sold in stores(referred to as ''retail ammunition''), you may find that they are sold in boxes with different branding and labels, such as "5.56x45mm NATO, Standard FMJ" or "9x19mm Parabellum, Personal Defense JHP". These brands generally refer to specific combinations of caliber, projectile type, pressure level and powder quality. Much like in real life, certain brands offer the expectation of certain kinds of performance, and are named and designed to intentionally "sell" their performance to the customer.* For example, ''9x19mm Parabellum, Personal Defense JHP'' is the brand of ammunition that refers to 9x19mm Parabellum, Regular powder, High pressure, JHP bullet. This is typically abbreviated ''(Reg/+P/JHP)''. The significance of each of those terms and abbreviation will be explained on this page.

This page will serve serves as an index for every type of caliber, projectile, pressure level and powder qualityin the game. Individual caliber pages will list the different brands full details about ammunition of that caliber (full damage tables, handloading information, list of availablebrands, etc). This page is not intended to be  If you are looking for a guide on how to make and load your own ammunition (though it can be used as a starting point to understand in the principles of ammunition); for thatgame, please go to [[Handloading]].

 The caliber, or chambering, of a weapon, is the type of ammunition needed by a the weapon in order needs to fire it at all. In other words, a weapon can only fire ammunition of the listed caliber, with a few exceptions (e.g. a [[.357 Magnum]] revolver like the [[Colt Python]] can also accept [[.38 Special]]). Any exceptions to this rule are listed on the relevant individual weapon pages.

Firearm calibers are subdivided into three four informal categories: <span style="color:#0000AA">'''(P)'''</span>istol calibers, <span style="color:#AA0000">'''(R)'''</span>ifle calibers and , <span style="color:#00AA00">'''(S)'''</span>hotgun calibers, and '''(X)''' (Special) calibers.The vast majority fall into any of the first three categories; the '''(X)''' category is reserved for very specific outliers. Calibers listed below may also be sorted by base [[Pain]] damage (to give a rough idea of power), metric/imperial notation, [[Recoil]] value, and amount of compatible base [[weapons]] (including [[weapon accessory|accessories]]). The amount of base Pain provided for shotgun calibers is that of '''F-Slug''' projectiles. (see [[Ammunition#Shotgun caliber projectiles|this section]] for more details)

Calibers listed below may also be sorted by base [[Pain]] damage (to give a rough idea of power), metric/imperial notation, [[Recoil]] value, and The amount of compatible base [[weapons]] is only meant to be used to get an idea of how common ammunition of this caliber is. It does not take in account cross-caliber compatibility (including [[weapon accessory|accessories]]e.g. .357 Magnum revolvers are also capable of accepting .38 Special) or rare calibers (see below).

''Rare calibers'': The amount of compatible base weapons is only meant to be used to get an idea of how common ammunition of this caliber is. Certain calibers may even be informally called ''rare calibers'' are those listed as having zero compatible weapons (such . Such calibers are informally referred to as ''rare calibers'')not unusable; it simply means that there are no unmodified weapons chambered in this caliber, and that an existing weapon '''must''' be modified to be able to shoot such ammunition.

Abbreviations == Shotgun caliber projectiles == Shotgun shells may be loaded with either a single projectile (generally called 'slugs'), or multiple projectiles (typically 'shot', though it can also be more exotic projectiles). Multiple projectile shells are therefore referred to as ''Multiprojectile''. The amount of projectiles loaded in a shell depends on the caliber, as different shotgun shells have different dimensions, and therefore different amounts of room in which to load the projectiles. There is no cost multiplier listed, as each combination of shotgun caliber and projectile type has unique shop values instead. === Buckshot ==={| class="wikitable sortable" style="font-size:9pt"|-!
