'''Projectiles''' are what leave the barrel of a firearm, intended to inflict damage to targetswhen a round is fired. This general term covers what is correctly referred used to as cover '''bullets''' (the projectiles of pistol and rifle cartridgesprojectiles), and '''shotgun projectiles''': '''Shot''' (groups of round pellets), '''Slugs''' (large singular projectiles) and '''Exotic''' (everything else).
The exact cost of a box of projectiles depends as much on its dimensions as its type; all can be found for sale at gun shops and weapon shops.
== Bullets ==
'''Bullets''' follow a basic nomenclature of '''bullet dimensions, ''' and '''type''', and just . Just like complete rounds of ammunition, may be '''categorized''' as either <span style="color:#0000AA">'''(P)'''</span>istol bullets or <span style="color:#AA0000">'''(R)'''</span>ifle bullets. Dimensions include the bullet's diameter and mass in grains, whereas type refers to the [[Ammunition#Pistol and rifle caliber projectiles|ammo type]].
Bullet dimensions determine which cases (and in turn which caliber) they are compatible with, whereas type will simply influence the ammo type of the completed round of ammunition.
* Example: '''.308, 150 grain, JSP''' - The dimensions of this bullet are '''.308, 150 grain''', making it compatible with [[7.62x51mm NATO]] or [[.30-06 Springfield]]. '''JSP''' means this is a '''jacketed soft point''' bullet, and will create a round of JSP ammunition when loaded.
The category of a bullet (whether it is a <span style="color:#0000AA">'''(P)'''</span>istol bullet or <span style="color:#AA0000">'''(R)'''</span>ifle bullet) determines what bullet types may be available. For instance, <span style="color:#0000AA">'''(P)'''</span>istol bullets have exclusive access to '''LSWC and LSWCHP''' whereas <span style="color:#AA0000">'''(R)'''</span>ifle bullets have exclusive access to '''HPX, APX and API'''.
Certain combinations of projectile dimensions and bullet types are only available as handloading ingredients and cannot be found for sale in factory-loaded, retail ammunition. As such, careful selection of caliber, projectile, and powder quality may allow a discerning handloader to create unique, fully custom ammunition.
All bullets have an individual Weight of 0.01 and all are sold in boxes of 50. Thus, a full box of bullets has a Weight of 0.5). The table below will list the cost of a box of '''FMJ''' projectiles. For other types of bullets, refer to '''[[Ammunition#Pistol and rifle caliber projectiles|this table]]''' and apply the corresponding value multiplier to the box's shop value, rounding to the nearest [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]]'''0.05'''.
