A '''blood-bullet''' is a type of [[projectile]] that appears in [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]] and [[notnotdNetHack]]. Blood-bullets are a [[Item size (dNetHack)|tiny-sized]] object that uses the [[firearms]] [[skill]] and is designed as ammunition for several types of firearms. It has a [[Object materials (dNetHack)|base material]] of [[hemargyos]] and appears as a '''silver pellet''' when [[Identification|unidentified]].

Three other types of bullets exist in dNetHack and its variants:
* [[Blood-spear]]s, which are only available to [[vampire (starting race in dNetHack)|vampire]] students of [[defilement]],
* [[Bullet (dNetHack)|Bullet]]s, which are generally restricted to a handful of race-role combinations and are made of [[lead]],
* [[Silver bullet (dNetHack)|Silver bullets]], which are distinct from bullets with an object material of [[silver]].

==Generation==
Blood-bullets are not randomly generated, though they can be found in [[bones]] and [[wish]]ed for.<br>
All Undead Hunters start each game with 20 +0 blood-bullets.<br>
Vampire Undead Hunters instead receive 20 +1 blood-bullets.<br>
Applying a [[nightmare's bullet mold]] creates a number of blood-bullets based on your current [[experience]]:
* 5 blood-bullets from XL 1–12
* 10 blood-bullets from XL 13–21
* 20 blood-bullets from XL 22–30
20 uncursed +0 blood-bullets are generated in the [[Undead Hunter quest]] home's top left room, contained in a [[chest]].<br>
[[Deminymph]]s that receive the Undead Hunter kit are [[generated with]] 20 blood-bullets {{frac|3}} of the time.<br>

==Description==
As firearms ammunition, blood-bullets must be [[fired]] or "[[thrown]]" from an appropriate [[launcher]] to deal their actual base damage, and properly fired blood-bullets will always [[mulch]] even on a miss. They deal slashing, piercing, and blunt damage when properly fired from an Undead Hunter weapon or firearm. Blood-spears are the upgraded variant of blood-bullets, available to characters with the "improve blood-bullets" [[defilement#Vampiric|vampiric defilement]] upgrade. Blood-bullets and blood-spears can substitute for the 25 [[energy]] cost for firing [[DNetHack_artifacts#The Holy Moonlight Sword|The Holy Moonlighy Sword]], consuming the projectile in the process.

Blood-bullets are compatible for use with the following firearm weapons:
