Corrected entry: In the scene near the end when the zombies begin breaking in and Shaun is describing how much ammo he has, he calls his ammo bullets and Ed corrects him and says they are called shells. Shaun had it right the first time. Ammo for a rifle are cartridges, and ammo for a shotgun is called shells.

Correction: Shaun and Ed are both incorrect. Shells are the casing and bullets are the projectile. Cartridges and rounds are for any ammo that is a packed bullet casing and powder. Shells are used to describe shotgun cartridges as well. However, the British have their own language and could very well use shells to mean cartridges, making Ed correct.

Correction: Ed is no expert. He acts like he is but he really does not know much more than Shaun.
