I think that the 'dust bullets' generate concentrated pulses of kinetic energy somehow (Clarke's Law applying, I think). These can be 'de-focussed' to act like pulse rocket thrust for propulsion purposes or to stun humans. Alternately they can be left in their concentrated form, in which case they are very destructive. By way of evidence, note the dinner-plate-sized holes Crescent Rose could blow through Beowolves. It's an indication of how tough the giant Nevermore and Death Stalker both were that attacks capable of doing that just dispersed nearly harmlessly on their hides.
