| odds rounds of ammunition munitions d'armes à feu / cartouches occasionnelles Explanation: odds is a typo: odds has to do with probabilities, odd means here "découvertes par-ci, par-là / occasionnellement lors des contrôles". What's implied is that ammunition is usually found together with a firearm, but only from to time on its own. Because they are just "odd finds" of minor importance, they "need be reported only on a quantitative monthly basis" i.e. the report will contain only the total number of rounds found during the month, without any further details. i.e "... les rapports ne donneront que les quantités mensuelles</I>” BTW "recovered" is more than "trouvées"; here it's "taken back where it belongs" i.e out of the hands of those who shouldn't have them => "ont été saisies" |
