I originally had my doubts, but I'm starting to think that it is quite likely. Well the only arguement against that is how could it even create a black hole small enough not to destory everything and then have no lasting effect. Unless the black hole is a symbol for the compression and it doesn't actually make black holes What you say is true, but blackholes are not infinite. eventually it reaches critical mass in which it discharges all of its contents. we haven't been able to see this happen yet, but it is an accepted theory. (i think.) so, a very small blackhole would be able to last long enough to rip anything to shreds, but not long enough to last more than a few milliseconds.

no, Black holes don't discharge violently. Energy bleeds out as Hawking Radiation, which eventually cause them to evaporate. There's no explosion, they just vanish. ones of that size would be quicker to go; as in twp seconds lifespan, but still they'd be more like implosions than explosions.

The arrows on the clip point inwards, indicating something added to the gunpowder, or possibly compression. The Black explosions were much bigger than the normal white flashes, and turned red at the edges. Here's something interesting, I think, because explosions can't be black; they give off heat and light, and you can't have black light. This would indicate some mystic/advanced/whatever element is present in those bullets. I don't think Ruby can get hold of it easily, given she avoided using it at first. maybe this is related to the apparent magitech shown by others like Weiss and the machinery on the train.
