User blog:Master Moridin/A (Potentially Unnecessary) Explanation for Inconsistent Ammo Count

So the other day I was thinking about how in Yellow trailer the number of shots Yang makes doesn't equal the number of shells in Ember Celica, and it dawned on me that maybe the "shells" aren't actually normal shot-style shells. Perhaps each catridge contains an amount of Dust and firing it just creates a small blast.

This would potentially mean each individual shell could be used more than once. My evidence? Myternaster.

Mysternaster's Dust component is a revolver, and it seems to work just like a normal gun, where pulling the trigger strikes the crystal. And Weiss is able to use the Dust crystals more than once (or at the least, they don't disappear upon use).

So perhaps there's two types of ammunition on Remnant. Normal bullets that use Dust as a propellant, and Dust rounds where the firing of the round just triggers a burst from the stored bullet, or maybe even the latter is the only kind of bullet at all.

Would go a long way to explaining why so many of the characters don't ever seem to reload.

(If this has ever come up before and I just couldn't find the discussion, I apologize.  Same goes for if there's something that disproves the theory.)
