Ammunition would be the general term used in military situations. Ammo is short for ammunition in military contexts.

In sporting situations the word ammo is used rather than ammunition, which is too formal-sounding for a sporting context.

Ammunition and ammo mean cartridges, and so terms ammunition cartridges and ammo cartridges are redundant and would not be heard.
