a "round" of ammunition
a round is not a single bullet. a round is as much ammunition a given weapon will hold. It`s been missused so long and often that now even military types refer to a single bullet as a round. If you were at the bar with your buddies and told them you were going up to the bar to by them a round, they would be a bit dissapointed if you came back with one beer.
