The letter r looks like a gun. It is rare, but not unheard of, for abstract concepts to take gun form when discussed near the Gungeon.

Lower Case r is a gun that fires a burst of 6 bullets that spell out the word BULLET. While firing, the gun will voice out the word "bullet".

Notes

• Hacker - If the player also has Bracket Key, damage is increased by 25%.
• Just In Case - If the player has Bomb, the gun becomes a capital letter R and transforms into a one shot rocket launcher. It fires the word ROCKET with cloud sprites when shot, and creates a cartoony BOOM cloud when it hits something.
• Rabid - If the player has Angry Bullets, the words LOSER, DORK, CHUMP, NOODLE, and TAFFER are spelled out.
• Radiant - If the player has Silver Bullets, the words SILVER, BLESSED, and WEREWOLF are spelled out. When it shoots "WEREWOLF", the firing sound is "DIE WEREWOLF DIE".
• Ravishing - If the player has Charming Rounds, the words HANDSOME, CHARM, and CUTE are spelled out, and shots become charming.
• Reactive - If the player has Explosive Rounds, the words ROCKET, BOOM, KABOOM, and POW are spelled out, and shots become explosive.
• Reanimate - If the player has Ghost Bullets, the words SPOOKY, GHOST, and BOO are spelled out.
• Reinforced - If the player has +1 Bullets, BULLET+1 is spelled out.
• Remnant - If the player has Omega Bullets, an omega appears after BULLET.
• Replete - If the player also has Finished Gun, the words COWABUNGA, BOOYAKASHA, THANK YOU, THANKS, HASTA LA VISTA, TOODLES, GOODBYE, FAREWELL and GAME OVER are spelled out.
• Research - If the player has Book of Chest Anatomy, the words CHEST and MIMIC are spelled out, and the gun can unlock locked chests and doors.
• Resplendent - If the player has Gilded Bullets, the words CASH, COINS, SHELLS, and GOLD are spelled out.
• Root - If the player has Alpha Bullets, an alpha appears before BULLET.
• Runic - If the player has Magic Bullets, the words ABRA and KADABRA are spelled out.
• All synergies that affect what letters Lower Case r fires increase the base damage per letter from 2.2 to 5, and causes the gun to voice out whatever word was just fired.

Trivia

• The voice that says the words shot by the gun out loud belongs to Doseone, the game's composer.
• The reload animation consists of deleting the letter, through use of backspace, and typing a new one.
• Lower Case r's bullets leave behind the word BLAM!! whenever they hit something.
• This could be a reference to old ASCII Adventure games, where letters would commonly be used to represent items, pickups and weapons based on their visual similarities.
• The pickup quote "Alphabetical!" could be a reference to Finn from Adventure Time exclaiming "Mathematical!"
• The synergy Just In Case transforms this item into the Uppercase R, which has its own Ammonomicon entry that is not normally available. This is what it says:

  The uppercase version of the letter r.
  
  Although the uppercase version of the r character does not resemble a gun, the space between the two lower markings does create a kind of chute shape, and chute sounds a lot like shoot. The rest is obvious.
