Normally bullets are used to damage or kill a target by simply hitting them while moving really fast. Sometimes however, you want your bullet to do something else. Maybe you're fighting enemies that shrug off or dodge standard bullets, or you just want a special trick up your sleeve (or magazine, as the case may be). Enter the trick bullet. These can perform all sorts of neat tricks to give the shooter an edge. Armor piercing, penetration, fragmentation and incendiary rounds are probably the most common types due to existing in real life, and silver bullets are also common thanks to their purported effectiveness against werewolves (and some vampires). In fiction however, they can get much, much weirder: Homing bullets, ricocheting bullets, and literal bottomless magazines are just the tip of the iceberg. Compare Depleted Phlebotinum Rounds (bullets that do the same job as a normal bullet, better) Abnormal Ammo (which is generally used because you don't have access to normal bullets, and any special effects are just a bonus). Some Mage Marksmen can enchant their bullets to become this. See also Trick Arrow for the archery equivalent and Trick Bomb for the explosive equivalent. |

In the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit episode "Burned," a man wanted for setting fire to his ex holds off the cops by threatening to kill himself with a knife. Benson shoots him with rubber bullets in order to prevent a suicide and to take him in. As the SVU cops had never used non-lethal bullets before this scene, and there's no set-up for it in the episode, it's close to being an Ass Pull. | |

In The Expanse the guards on Dresden's secret research station had guns loaded with gel rounds, that for some reason were colored blood red so that the already jumpy OPA boarding party (who weren't using gel rounds) panicked when one of them took a gel to the helmet.

Supernatural: A devil's trap bullet is an ordinary bullet with a pentagram carved onto the tip. It was first devised by Henry Winchester as a way of stopping Abaddon. When someone fires one of these bullets into a demon, it acts the same way as a devil's trap by debilitating the demon and keeping them from moving or using their powers, but it can be removed with some effort. | |

My Huntsman Academia expands on the original RWBY's use of Dust-enhanced ammo. Izuku usually carries Gravity Dust ammo, which gives his shots extra oomph and help him punch his foes into walls and each other more easily with the pure kinetic force they provide. He often buys a few clips of Lightning Dust ammo when going on especially tough missions. Those hit by it are shocked, making it useful against both Grimm and people due to causing temporary paralysis. | |

X-Men Film Series The mutant-cure delivering bullets from X-Men: The Last Stand. Amnesia bullets in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Although technically those weren't "amnesia bullets", they were regular bullets made out of adamantium, thus the only thing they had that could pierce Logan's Nigh-Invulnerable skull. They were supposed to kill him but his brain was able to regenerate, just without a huge chunk of his memories. Anyone else would fair far worse than just amnesia. |

Rebuild World: Akira ends up using multiple of these that typically start priced Too Awesome to Use but get sold to him cheaper as his Hunter Rank rises. Due to having difficulty fighting tank-like monsters, Akira starts using Armor-Piercing Attack CWH rounds that allow for a One Hit Poly Kill. The recoil means having Powered Armor is a Required Secondary Power to survive firing them. He needs to be using his anti-material rifle or later multi-weapon to fire them, however. Akira gets cheaper armor-piercing rounds for his assault rifles, that nonetheless let him ambush a group of robbers turning two to Ludicrous Gibs and sending a third Blown Across the Room. After Akira ends up carrying around too many different weapons and pares down to two Bifurcated Weapon SSB rifles, to stand-in for his Grenade Launcher, he sometimes uses clips filled with Homing Projectile rocket-propelled-grenade bullets. Essentially tiny homing missiles, they’re good for hitting a moving target, making up for the inaccuracy of firing from a moving vehicle, and shooting down enemy missiles. To make up for the fact he keeps running into enemies firing whole clips of CWH rounds barely scratches, Akira ends up getting bullet Energy Weapon hybrid C-rounds. These are Charged Attack bullets that receive a customizable charge from his multi-weapon’s energy reserves. Akira eventually gets illegal Antimatter rounds that create an Unrealistic Black Hole like effect for severe threats. |

When fighting Cioccolata, Giorno modifies some bullets that transform into a tree for Mista to fire at Cioccolata's helicopter to ensnare it. Later Giorno uses another bullet to transform into another tree to prevent him from falling, and kicks a section of its branch for it to later transform back into a bullet to fire itself into Cioccolata's head. Later, said bullet transforms into a beetle that burrows out of his head. |

In the first game (where there are no EX Skills) this is limited to one of the game's three elemental types (fire, ice, lightning) but the second game onwards expands on the system, giving Zero a wide range of attacks with the Buster Shot. The most common shot types include a Spread Shot and an Energy Ball that either blows up on impact (fire-type) or leaves a trail of sparks when it hits a wall or the floor (elec-type). | |

Warhammer40000 (of course) has the Imperium employ these, specifically for the Bolters. Because having full-auto .75 caliber RPG-bullets wasn't enough, they also come in super-armor-piercing, anti-materiel, anti-psyker, incendiary, sniper and "mutagenic acid" flavors. The last one is pretty much official terminology for "Tyranid killers". Some Dark Eldar weapons aren't intended to kill, as they need to torture their victims in order to sustain their souls. |

Shadowrun Paintball rounds - used to mark enemies for later identification. Gel ammo: does stun damage instead of lethal. Ex-Ex: or (extra) explosive rounds. For when a grenade is too lethal, but regular ammo isn't lethal enough—or illegal enough. Capsule rounds: for delivering a drug cocktail of your choice directly into the bloodstream. The following rounds also exist in the game, but have real life counterparts Dragon's Breath: shotgun -> flamethrower Stick 'n Shock: taser rounds Shock Lock: for breaching doors |

Team Fortress 2: the Engineer's Rescue Ranger can fire a spike with a battery attached to it that can repair friendly buildings in addition to damaging targets. The Medic's Crusader's Crossbow fires a large syringe, which somehow heals allies yet harms enemies, even disguised Spies. |

Back before he got his own series, The Punisher would have to use non-lethal rounds to justify him teaming up with other heroes. These were eventually revealed to have a painful sedative in them. | |

Judge Dredd: During The Apocalypse War, Judge Dredd gets an armourer to reduce the charge of a standard execution round to penetrate his badge and an inch of flesh only so he can fake his suicide. It works, but the charge is still stronger than intended and ends up pressing on his heart, weakening him and making escape from the Grand Hall of Justice more difficult. The Lawgiver's Abnormal Ammo. While canonically, the six rounds are Standard, Armour Piercing, Incendiary, Ricochet, Heat Seeker and Hi-Ex, some writers add different types such as marker shells, stumm gas rounds and electronic tagging rounds. |

Eclipse Phase, being made by some of the Shadowrun devs and set just a little past The Singularity, has several of these for Firearms, on top of the usual ammo types like armor-piercing rounds. Railguns can only use regular and armor-piercing rounds, though. 'Flux' ammo, that can reconfigure itself, allowing users to inflict normal wounds, or inflict lesser injuries for crowd control. Bug ammo, which tags the target and allows you to track them via the Mesh. Capsule ammo, as per Shadowrun Capsule rounds above. Jammer ammo, which sticks to the target and jams wireless signals. Splash ammo, which is similar to Capsule, but splashes the contents on the target instead of injecting it directly into them. Zap ammo, which stuns enemies like a taser shot. There are also several 'smart' ammo types, which - with the exception of Biter, Flayer, and Proximity types, can be combined with the above-mentioned types. Accushot ammo, which reconfigures itself in-flight to ignore the effects of wind, drag, and gravity - allowing users to ignore range penalties. Biters and Flayers, which increase damage dealt, and Proximity ammo that can harm targets even if it doesn't strike them directly. Homing and Laser-Guided ammo, Exactly What It Says on the Tin. 'Zero' ammo allows burst and full-auto weapons to 'zero in' on a target during extended firing. |

The Wire: Brother Mouzone's Walther PPK comes loaded with a plastic pellet rat shot at the top of the magazine to provide a less-lethal first shot as a warning. According to his Badass Boast after shooting Cheese with it, the subsequent copperplate hollowpoints are also modified by Mouzone, this time to be more lethal. | |

Macross 7: Basara's Valkyrie (and later, the rest of Fire Bomber's custom machines) has its guns loaded with "speaker pods" rather than bullets. Rather than explode, these rounds burrow into an enemy machine, seal the hole they create, and broadcast Basara's music into the enemy ship. Notably, he used this ammunition long before they discovered the series' main enemies are more affected by music than bullets: Basara is a pacifist and believes he can bring opposing factions together through song (it's sheer coincidence he turns out to be correct). | |

In the first chapter of City Hunter Ryo uses a gold-tipped .500 Nitro Express bullet so that, once shot in the ear of the target (Ryo is just that good), it won't leave the skull and use all of its enormous power (it's an elephant bullet) to move him. As the target is the challenger for a boxing championship who has murdered the previous challenger (leading to Ryo being hired by his fiancee to avenge him) and is threatening the life of the champion's daughter to fix the match, the well-timed shot has the effect of making it appear that the champion hit the challenger so hard it not only killed him, but sent him flying out of the ring. | |

GURPS Ultra-Tech has a truly amazing number: Aerosol, liquid, flare, memory baton, tangler, stingray (to disable robots), swarm, EMP, jammer, strobe, warbler, force, implosion, psibomb, stasis, vortex. Those are just the non-lethal ones. High-Tech has basically everything realistic. |

World Trigger: The Lead Bullet is a special type of Trion bullet that can phase through shields and produce lead bricks on targeted Trion Bodies to slow down the actions of opponents rather than damaging Trion Bodies. Notable users: Tamakoma-2 Yūma Kuga (in his Black Trigger,) and Chika Amatori, Mirai Hatohara (former Ninomiya Squad member,) and A07 Shūji Miwa. Both the Hound and Viper are damage dealing bullets that aren't limited to flying in a straight path. While the Hound can curve to home in on a target, the Viper can make sharp turns based on a pre-programmed trajectory or alter its path on the fly if the user is skilled enough to manipulate it in real time. |

Amnesia bullets in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Although technically those weren't "amnesia bullets", they were regular bullets made out of adamantium, thus the only thing they had that could pierce Logan's Nigh-Invulnerable skull. They were supposed to kill him but his brain was able to regenerate, just without a huge chunk of his memories. Anyone else would fair far worse than just amnesia. | |
