Ammo Items are pickups which can be consumed for ammunition by the player. Ammo is precious for powering the player's various long-ranged weapons. On the PC family of Wolfenstein games there is not much variety in pickups, but the Mac Family expands the variety quite a bit.
Bullet Ammo Items[]
Bullets are the only type of ammo in the PC family of Wolfenstein games. They power the Pistol, the Machine Gun, and the Chaingun. Because of this, all ammo you find will power all of your guns, but all of your guns will drain the same pool of ammo.
Ammo Clip[]
The ammo clip is the source of all ammo in Wolfenstein 3D. When found throughout the level, an ammo clip is worth 8 bullets. If an enemy drops a clip it will be worth 4 bullets.

Ammo Box[]
The ammo box is introduced in Spear of Destiny and is worth 25 bullets. Given that the player can only carry up to 99 bullets, each of these boxes are extremely valuable.

Power Up[]
The Power Up, while having the additional benefits of giving the player an extra life and 99 health, also gives the player 25 bullets. This makes the Power Up important to consider strategically as an ammo item, especially considering that it's the only ammo item which can be picked up when the player is already at full ammo.
