My guess is that the 'cross' magazine contained bullets with Dust as well as projectile payloads. The Dust is refined to create a kinetic energy pulse (I think that this is the black flash you see when Crescent Rose is fired after the second magazine was loaded). So, as well as killing Beowolves, they also have a considerable propulsion effect too.

Yes, I'm suggesting that Dust can cause a Mass Effect. Is it Element Zero? ;-)
