At the beginning of the Goodwill Event, she fired at Yuji three times, meaning, by the time Maki appeared, she only had two bullets chambered. Even ignoring that,—or, insisting that she reloaded between the two chapters,—the number of bullets she had chambered after shooting Nobara is unknown.with Mai even reloading her gun when Maki shows up (despite only firing one road, implying she was reloading to change out the rubber bullets for a different kind)
alongside the fact that whenever she uses her guns later in the series it's references that she's using "conventional weaponry"
- Winchester Model 70, a bolt action hunting rifle.
- Geto (Kenjaku) is a Special Grade sorcerer and the worst curse user in history.
A rubber bullet is real.Moreover, the bullet Mai created and which Maki caught is explicitly a real bullet.
And the bullets look less like .44 Magnum bullets and more like rubber bullets; in the anime, they are even black, like rubber bullets.
The difference between the two is: Nobara can control her Cursed Energy and use Cursed Energy Reinforcement, whereas Maki cannot; even Haba is bulletproof.We know this because rubber bullets aren't potent enough to even leave a mark or breach the skin of an off-guard Nobara and yet was able to leave a considerable injury to Maki's hand, which Maki even comments on in the same panel. This wouldn't make any sense given Nobara trained with Maki and considers her an absolute powerhouse who can carry the entire team.
