* Warhammer40K ([[TropeOverdosed of course]]) has the Imperium employ these, specifically for the Bolters. Because having full-auto .75 caliber RPG-bullets wasn't enough, they also come in super-armor-piercing, anti-materiel, anti-psyker, incendiary, sniper and "mutagenic acid" flavors. The last one is pretty much official terminology for "Tyranid killers".

*** Although technically those weren't "amnesia bullets", they were regular bullets made out of adamantium, thus the only thing they had that could pierce Logan's NighInvulnerable skull. They were SUPPOSED to kill him but his brain was able to regenerate, just without a huge chunk of his memories. Anyone else would [[BoomHeadshot fair far worse]] than just amnesia.

* In ''[[{{Ptitle841pxnwg}} Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century]]'', Dodgers fires an Ultimatum Gun at Marvin, which shoots a bullet that stops in mid-air, opens and out pops a written ultimatum. Marvin responds with an Ultimatum Responder, which fires a bullet that stops and shoots a bullet of its own. Dodgers fires the Ultimatum gun again, and this time the bullet's message reads "Ouch!"

* In one HalloweenEpisode of ''{{Gargoyles}}'', Owen shoots a were-Fox with a gun, later revealing that it was neither a bullet nor a tranquilizer, but a tracking and monitoring device. There was also the episode where Dr. Sevarius shot Elisa's brother with a gun loaded with a vial of MutagenicGoo that turned him into a pseudo-gargoyle (a flying cat-monster thing).

* These exist to some degree in RealLife; tracer rounds (which are essentially bullets with built in flares to help the gunner correct their aim. The US Military also uses them near the end of a clip to tell soldiers when their clip is low.) See also rubber bullets and "dum dum" bullets. This kind of thing can be found in most calibers but shotgun shells take the overall award; ignoring stuff like grenades and other weapons we have;

to:

** Ex-Ex: or (extra) explosive rounds. For when a grenade is too lethal, but regular ammo isn't lethal enough--or illegal enough.
** Capsule rounds: for delivering a drug cocktail of your choice directly into the bloodstream.
** The following rounds also exist in the game, but have real life counterparts
*** Dragon's Breath: shotgun -> flamethrower
*** Stick 'n Shock: taser rounds
*** Shock Lock: for breaching doors

** Airburst rounds. Close enough to a grenade, the whole idea is to explode right after a barrier such as around a window, thus granting no cover to those hiding.
