@Sentry I kinda hope there's no such thing as Death Stalker shredding bullets in RWBY because it poses such a massive story-telling problem. Why are the Grimm such a big deal if the people of Remnant are capable of producing ammo that can dice a giant Death Stalker, which has armor that Ruby's sniper bullets and JNPR's weapons couldn't pierce?

If the bullets are hard to make, and thus rare, why haven't Humans and Faunus been focusing their research on coming up with easier, more efficient ways to make them? Why are Atlas' scientists so focused on making new and improved robots and mechs instead of these bullets that could save mankind? The material necessary might be hard to find, and other attempts have proven inefficient.

Or they could be Coco's own design, like she was screwing around with some spent shells, got the idea, made them up, and tested them out on a bunch of Beowulf. If so, it could also explain why they weren't used in Vytal and the Fall, not enough time to make them/not thinking she'd need them until another big mission. Hell, they could easily be something simple like standard bullets layed in grounded up dust, or bullet shells filled up with a mixture of dust types.
