Stranger doesn't like guns. Whether that be for personal reasons, or fear of them, we don't know. He just doesn't like the things.
Stranger's weapon of choice is the crossbow. However, it's the ammo he uses on his crossbow that is unique.
Stranger uses Live Ammo, as in, ALIVE! In the game you gather little critters and use them as your ammo. Firing them off the crossbow and into the realm of an enemy, each species of Live Ammo has a different effect. Some can even get upgrades!
Click on the links to see Hi-Res versions of the Live Ammo. For instance, I'd click "ZAPPFLIES" to see a Hi-Res picture of the Zappfly.

Basic Ammo
ZAPPFLIES:
The workhorse of your arsenal--and in endless supply! Zappflies are great for collecting other ammo, plus, after they charge up you can use 'em to jump-start electrical equipment or jolt outlaws.
BOLAMITES:
The abdomen of the bolamite is like a juicy berry about to burst with the makings of a sticky web. Fire a bolamite at an outlaw and it will wrap him up in a nice, neat package for you. It's like Christmas
has come to Oddworld!
BOOMBATS:
I don't know what these critters have been eating, but once you shoot them onto an outlaw or a nearby wall, they're like a ticking time bomb. When they go off, the explosion knocks any nearby outlaws
flat on their fat butts.
CHIPPUNKS:
These loud-mouthed varmints hurl insults until they make folks want to come over and stomp 'em. That makes them perfect for laying a trap or drawing a single outlaw off from the group for easier bagging.
FUZZLES:
Boy howdy are these critters cranky. Shoot them off onto the ground or a wall or whatever and they'll jump on the first outlaw that wanders by. That poor sap is then in for an awful gnawing, and that don't feel good.
STINGBEES:
What they lack in punch they make up for in quantity. You can fire off stingbees in rapid succession, turning your crossbow into a machinegun. Zing an outlaw with 'em and watch him get angrier
than a nest of hornets!
STUNKZ:
Pee-yeww. Float one of these bombs off into a croud of outlaws and watch a big stink cloud send them into convulsions. As they're retching and ralphing, move in for the kill or capture 'em where they stand.
THUDSLUGS:
Don't worry--shooting a thudslug into the fat belly of an outlaw doesn't hurt it a bit, thanks to its armor-like shell. The outlaw, on the other hand, won't know what hit him. And even if he did, it'd still hurt like heck.
WASPS:
For the discerning bounty hunter, use wasps in concert with your newly acquired binocs and you'll have super sniper abilities to commit a clean, quiet, and effective punishment.
Ammo Upgrades
BOLA BLAST:
Wrap up multiple enemies in sticky web goo. One bola blast can put a whole group of outlaws under wraps. What you do with them after that is up to you.
BOOMBAT SEEKERS:
These crazy critters pack an even bigger pop than regular boombats. Fire them towards some outlaws and watch them mercilessly hone in on their target. there won't be much left of 'em after the big boom.
HOWLER PUNKS:
Hoo boy are these little brats obnoxious. Yes, even more so than chippunks. While chippunks are only annoying enough to draw the attention of one outlaw, howler punks are foul-mouthed enough to
lure three of them into your trap.
RABID FUZZLES:
These fuzzles are so angry you'd think somebody smacked their ma. They jump farther and bite harder than regular fuzzles. It gets especially gruesome when a pack teams up on an outlaw. Best not
watch if you have a weak constitution.
SUPER STINGBEES:
That old adage of "if you ignore a bee, it will ignore you" won't work on these suckers. Rapid-fire them at an outlaw and they'll chase him down like he called their mama ugly.
SPARK STUNKZ:
These stinkers don't blow, they suck. Their potent stench eats up Oddworld's sweet air and creates a vacuum that draws in nearby outlaws like a putrid filth magnet. Very smelly, very effective.
RIOT SLUGS:
Riot slugs self-destruct in mid-air, fragmenting their shells and spraying shrapnel over a wide area. Since they only live 24 hours in nature anyway, the riot slug happily makes this sacrifice to help you take out
more outlaws with one blast.
