What's the difference between munitions and ammunition?

Ghost Of Christmas Past

Ammunition is what you fire from a gun. Munitions include bombs, mortars, rockets and grenades.

From a dictionary standpoint, there isn't really a difference. From a military logistics standpoint, "ammunition" consists of bullets, mortar rounds, artillery; etc. think bullets, both big and small. "Munitions" will include explosives, detonation cord, grenades, mines, etc. A munition dump is inclusive of ammunition.

The word munitions would include things which are not ammunition.
