Saw the following post on the comments section of one of the episodes.

"In response to everyone wondering how Kali blocks a dust round with a serving tray.

I don't know if this ever has been talked about by CRWBY, but it seems to me that dust bullets aren't necessarily as powerful as bullets in our world.

They seems to put more energy into exploding and creating recoil than actual penetrating power.

Hence why when Blake hits Ilia's weapon it doesn't blow it apart, just applies an "on hit effect" by freezing it.

Also, I don't ever recall any ricochet moments (which is a common enough cliche to have ended up in this series at some point)  to prove that dust rounds have a solid metal "bullet" and are more likely just concentrated rounds of dust that explode on contact rather than penetrate unless at very close range.

Another thing that points to this is when Mercury uses dust rounds to create his tornado effect in Volume 3.

They aren't just small bullets propelled by dust, but mostly just the dust itself.

Just my thoughts on it though."

Can't remeber who posted it, but it was an interesting read and some headcanon as to how dust works.
