Ok, my above post got messed up and posted as a block of text instead of something easier to read, hopefully this will be different. Also, I took the time to get my thoughts a little more organized/clear. "I imagine." While I appreciate any input, where is your evidence for this? Ember Celica and Melodic Cludgel both fire or are at least capable of firing projectiles that either contain dust or are pure dust energy, the latter of which would have no physical projectile and probably no propellent* involved. I have no way of telling which type of ammo they have, or if they use the same method at all. Another point you briefly mention is the firing mechanism in guns, which, the way I see it, could be one of three things. It could either:A. Have the user channel aura directly into the dust round, activating it.B. Have a link between the user's aura and the round form when the trigger is pulled.C. Use a non-aura based system**, such as primers, flintlocks, etc.However, the first two only apply if the propellant actually is dust (which is likely though) while the third method could work with both dust and traditional*** propellants. Obviously, first one doesn't seem to apply as the guns are specifically said to have triggers. Notably, androids, which clearly lack an aura, are capable of firing weapons, so option C seems most likely, but it could be for that situation only. This also means that a traditional*** propellant could be used in some weapons (but it probably isn't). Sorry for the rant-ish thing, I'm just a little annoyed that this episode was rather uninformative, though if there are episodes specifically on aura (very likely) and weapons (pretty likely, but may be part of a different episode) the exact nature of dust use will probably become much more clear. *While dust is referred to as an "Energy Propellant, here I simply use the term to refer to anything creating an explosive force to propel something out of a weapon. **On further examination, it does seem that dust can be activated without an aura and is, in fact, highly volatile. Who knew!? ***Black Powder, Gun Powder, really anything that isn't dust but can still explode.
