There are 2 types of weapons; Energy-based and Ammo-based, some of them are defensive like the point defence turret. Weapons generate heat, which increases your signature on the radar. When you have more than 100% heat, you will not be able to fire (however, given that you would be overheating, you probably have other problems on your hands).

You can buy ammo for these weapons at any station. Be sure to restock on ammo otherwise you may find yourself unable to fire!
Kinetic-based weapons require ammunition to fire but generate less heat and consume less power as a result. Ammunition can be replenished at any station or outpost. Be sure to restock otherwise you may find yourself unable to fire!
