While you are spawned into the gameworld there are several elements (boxes) around your display perimeter that provide dynamic information on your combat status. You can turn them on or off with the Y key or manage them within Game Settings. Weapons and ammo information, as well as other game related info, are displayed.
Weapon / Ammo Counters
This will show you the Weapon/Equipment selected, or in a vehicle position that has weapons the Ammo Count. You will see a Weapon and Ammo Count that displays your weapon type and the amount of ammo you have.

The green bar element (bottom) gives you a readout of your stamina or ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate or “muscle fuel”).

It shows vehicle class-specific information. In aircraft it will show current G level, your Angle of Attack (“AOA”) and your degrees of Slip. In other vehicles, it shows the current gear. If you have other soldiers on board your vehicle, this element will expand to show their names.
