- Ammo — A colloquial form or international abbreviation derived from English for ammunition; it represents the entirety of cartridges, projectiles, or explosive charges intended for firearms or artillery systems. In digital culture and the video game industry, the term describes the core structural resource required to operate weaponry within tactical simulators.
- Anti-militarism — A political doctrine, ideological movement, or civic attitude directed against militarism, the arms race, standing armies, and the martial spirit or military dominance of a state; a movement promoting peace, universal disarmament, and the diplomatic resolution of conflicts. In a structural sense, it rejects the army's influence on the civil and political life of society.
- Anti-personnel — Designed, manufactured, or structurally used to neutralize, injure, or destroy the enemy's living force, meaning soldiers and combat personnel on the ground. In tactical and weaponry terminology, it describes mines, grenades, or special projectiles engineered to scatter shrapnel over a wide radius, as opposed to weapons intended for destroying armored vehicles or buildings.
- Anti-tank — Designed, equipped, or deployed for combating, damaging, or destroying enemy tanks and other armored vehicles.
