Q bullets
CharacterQ bullets are anti-ghoul ammunition fielded by the Commission of Counter Ghoul. Each round wears a thin skin of processed kagune, giving investigators a firearm option that bites harder against ghouls than ordinary bullets, though it never quite matches a true quinque.
Overview
Q bullets, rendered as Q baretto, are firearm rounds finished with a layer of liquefied kagune. Since that raw substance can only be drawn from ghouls, the coating on each round stays fairly slim.
Role
Every kagune category has a matching bullet variant. A round performs best when its type runs counter to the kagune of the ghoul being shot, exploiting that natural disadvantage. The rounds do genuine damage, yet their reach falls short of what a quinque can deliver.
