Rounds perhaps made during morning routine (4)

I believe the answer is:

ammo

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'rounds' is the definition.
(rounds of ammunition)

'made during morning routine' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'morning' could be 'am' (as in 12:00 AM) and 'am' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'mo' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'perhaps' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ammo that I've seen before include "explosives, perhaps" , "round" , "eg Bullets, shells" , "Explosive devices" , "Bullets (abbrev.)" .)
