Is a round an individual bullet or a complete cartridge of shots?

You have some of your terms confused. A round and a cartridge are the same thing. They are a single bullet, case, primer, and powder charge put together. Those components together make up a cartridge. A slang term for a cartridge is a round. A bullet is just a component of a cartridge or round. This is the lead, or copper jacketed projectile that is propelled out of the barrel with a pull of the trigger. Several cartidges are placed inside of a magazine or clip inside (or sticking out of) a firearm in preparation of being fired.

A round is not just the bullet, it is slang for ammunition, which includes the bullet, casing, primer and powder.
For further reading, see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartridge_%28firearms%29
A cartridge or round packages the bullet, gunpowder and primer into a single metallic case precisely made to fit the firing chamber of a firearm. The primer is a small charge of impact-sensitive chemical that may be located at the center of the case head (centerfire ammunition) or at its rim (rimfire ammunition). Electrically-fired cartridges have also been made. A cartridge without a bullet is called a blank.

a round is a single bullet or shell. when you hear of someone firing 6 rounds that means they shot six times.

1 Round = 1 complete bullet.
A 10 Round clip or magazine is telling you it hold 10 complete bullets.
Then you would have 10 shots to get the job done.

A " round " in gun terms is the same as it is in boxing or wrestling. The only difference is that the man that goes down, stays down. A great game.!
