Bullets are the ammunition used by most guns. Each type of bullet has its own stats, and they are added to the stats of the gun using them to produce a final set of numbers used. For example, if a player is using Musket Balls, with 7 damage, and a Musket, with 23 damage, the base damage will be 30 to any successful target.
