'I imagine' is because I do nothave concrete proof. None. A lot of my previous post is due to what it may be. I believe the most likely explanation for firearms is the trigger and primer explanation. But I don't think there are traditional propellents. If there are then they may be weaker then dust. It makes sense that dust would be used, and may be the ONLY think used. Again, speculation.

However in regards to what kind of ammunition the Melodic Cudgel and Ember Celica use, I ASSUME it is similar to say, the design of the exploding bullet in Dishonored. Look it up if you haven't played the game. Badass. But basically the bullet funtions like a normal bullet with propellent in the back and whatnot. It is specially made however so the ignition and propulsion of the bullet do not ignite the body of whale oil (the propellent) until it hits something. However it still glows when it's fired (like the incendiary bolts) so it could be the dust heated up from the ignition, or that it made a link with the user's aura. In that case Androids cannot use Ember Celica or Melodic Cudgel tech. Maybe it works like that. As for 'how do we know what type of ammo is being used' dude we're not gonna know this soon. It's not gonna happen. A lot is up for speculation. They aren't gonna lay it down on a big diagram for us even if they got it all figured out. We can speculate. Such as; Yang's Ember Celica uses fire dist because there's fire. Or; Roman may use a compound dust that generates powerful explosions or just wind dust because of it's concussive abilities. We don't know and we won't know for a while. I'm fine with that. Keep me guessing and let's me get creative.

There are plenty of anime that don't explicitly reveal info right off the bat. For example; Naruto and Nature Transformations. We didn't learn about it officially until Shippuden came out. (Sorry for the Naruto reference btw)

And besides, we're a season and 5 episodes in. Doubtful we're gonna know a lot about Dust except for tidbits. That's the beauty of this though, it makes us think and guess how Dust works and how the weapons work. Btw if what I say now may condradict what I said previously, it's because I'm still thinking and deciding myself what it does and how it works. It helps to put it in writing (typing whatever)
