Trivia
- Most Bullet Upgrade sprites are designed after either pistol cartridges or shotgun shells. The exceptions to this being Silver Bullets and Chaos Bullets, which are instead designed after rifle cartridges.
- Some Bullet Upgrade items correspond very closely to existing guns, including:
- Devolver Rounds and the Devolver
- Vorpal Bullets and the Vorpal Gun
- Helix Bullets and the Helix
- Having too many bullet upgrades can crash the game.
- Chaos Bullets may cause the game to crash more often than usual.
- Having Orbital Bullets and the Yari Launcher with the Shadow Warrior synergy active, causing the demon head to fire will cause severe amounts of lag.
