Meteor Shot

Meteor Shot is a type of consumable ammunition used for guns. It is created from a single meteorite bar at a anvil which yields 100 shots. It can be noted that they will bounce off a single surface when fired from any gun, and will penetrate 1 enemy. Meteor shots are very useful for finding floating islands, as you can shoot upwards and see if the shot comes back down at you (signalling the presence of a floating island).

These are the best shots in the game at this point, the lesser choice being Musket Balls. Whether it's easier to obtain Meteor Shots than Musket Balls is debatable since Meteorite isn't that difficult to obtain by the point in the game you'd be using guns. So these might be the best bullets to use, since, for example, 99 meteorite bars gives you 9900 bullets (1 bar = 100 shots).

When fired, meteor shots appear pink (see image on left), as opposed to the more orange colour of Musket Balls. They are also longer, and deal more damage.

They sell for 1 silver 60 copper coins per 100, or 1.6 copper each shot. (1 meteor shot = 1 copper from merchant, 2 meteor shot = 3 copper from merchant.)
