What is the definition of the word zound? I saw this webpage:

http://www.renegadew...he_Ramjet_Rifle

At one point the article says "it gives zounds of points when you fire on vehicles" and hopefully someone can clarify (as well as define the word) what it means from the context of the sentence. Any help is appreciated. :-)

A swear word of old, it appears. I'm not sure if the use in your citation is really correct, but I assume it's meant like "it gives shitloads of points [...]".

Sounds like a really bad band name.

Like Phil said, it's a Shakespearean curse word. That Renegade player must have studied literature.
