Vapen & ammunition (Swedish for "Weapons & Ammunition") is a 2002 album by the Swedish band Kent. Interestingly absent from this record is a long mostly-instrumental song rounding the album off, as had been a characteristic of the band ever since their second record Verkligen. The white tiger on the cover is a tribute to the band's hometown Eskilstuna: the zoo in town had white tigers as its main attraction. Vapen & Ammunition was voted Best Album of 2002 on the Grammis awards, the Swedish equivalent to the Grammy.
An English release of this album was originally planned (as can be seen by the tape labelled "Guns and Ammunition" in the music video for "Dom andra", but was cancelled after the reception of the band's previous two albums did not prove positive enough to make this financially worthwhile.
There is a special Russian edition of the CD, for sale in the CIS. All the songs on it being the same as the regular Swedish version.
