The Internet meme 'I need more bullets!' (pronounciation: 'I need more boulets', French accent) is created in 2023 on TikTok by an NPC streamer named R.octavoc.r (@isrhaul) playing the part of a French soldier on TikTok LIVE, telling the camera that he needs more bullets while also shaking his butt, similar to twerking. He also said other catchphrases like "Hasta la vista baby!". Screen-recordings of his livestreams began to go viral in mid-2023, leading to memes that used his videos, predominantly starting in August 2023.
The chant goes (repeated many times)(in a French accent):
'I need more boulets! I need more boulets! Bigger weapons! Bigger weapons! Can we go to the gym, sir? Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! (imitation of machine gun)'
