What is the definition of zound?

[OrangePanda555]

What is the definition of the word zound? I was reading this webpage:

At one paragraph the article reads "it gives zounds of points when you fire on vehicles" and maybe you can clarify (as well as define the word) what it means from the context of the sentence. Any help is appreciated. :-)

It means "a lot" in this context, though it actually means "God's wounds", according to Merriam-Webster.
