Published October 16, 2026

R.octavoc.r, a TikToker who performed as a French soldier NPC streamer, went viral in summer 2023 for repeating "I need more bullets" while twerking on TikTok LIVE. Screen-recordings of his streams first spread in July 2023, and by August a stitch from @fylertunke reached 2.6 million plays, turning the clip into a template on TikTok and YouTube Shorts.

Overview

I Need More Bullets, also styled as I Need More Boolets or I Need More Boullets, is a line shouted by TikToker @isrhaul (display name R.octavoc.r) during his NPC-style LIVE sessions1. He wore a makeshift French military outfit, held a toy gun, and shook his butt in a twerking motion while barking the catchphrase along with lines like "Hasta la vista baby!"2. His streams were made for a gay audience and sat inside the mid-2023 NPC streaming trend popularized by TikTokers like Pinkydoll3.

Posts riffing on him usually took the shape of screen-recorded LIVE clips, stitch reactions, or greenscreen edits that layered his audio onto unrelated footage4. Many creators added captions about deleting TikTok or wanting to be left alone, treating the clip as the punchline rather than the setup2.

@isrhaul posted his first TikTok on January 3, 2021, but his NPC-style livestreams did not begin until mid-2023, when he started appearing on TikTok LIVE as a cartoonish French soldier asking the camera for more bullets3. The earliest known screen-recording of one of these LIVEs was posted by TikToker @kingofcheeks on July 22, 2023, which collected roughly 70,500 plays and 7,400 likes within three weeks1.

How It Spread

Through August 2023 the screen-recordings kept picking up speed. On August 8, 2023, TikToker @fylertunke posted a stitch captioned about deleting the app, which reached roughly 2.6 million plays and 475,800 likes in six days2. Four days later, on August 12, @biz0unours ran the audio over the Leave Me Alone! meme format, racking up about 1.4 million plays and 251,100 likes in two days5.

Reposts spilled onto YouTube Shorts the same week6. YouTuber M8TRIX uploaded a greenscreen template of @isrhaul on August 13, 2023, letting other creators overlay his face and audio onto their own footage4. Additional stitches kept the audio in rotation across TikTok, including a mid-August repost from @adolfus9820097.
