The Destroyer
(Word of Caution: I haven't really ever made a suggestion. This entire presentation therefore may be terrible. Proceed at your own risk.)
This, ladies and gentlemen, is the Raufoss Mk 211. This 12.7 x 99mm (.50 Caliber) beauty has a bunch of multipurpose features rolled into one.
What all that above there means is this bullet does all of these things at once;
-Has an incendiary ability
-Has explosives
-Has a penetrating core that can go through armor
-And also ends up sending steel fragments and zirconium sparks flying everywhere.
In Terraria, this translates to;
-Explosive Bullet
-Meteor Shot (sort of)
-Cursed Bullet (well not quite)
-Crystal Bullet
But, all at once. So the idea here is to have a bullet based somewhere in Lunar-Tier or so that happens to have the abilities of several other bullets combined. And of course you must keep in mind that as crazy as it sounds, this bullet actually already exists.
Now, I'm awful when it comes to thinking about balance (I really just want to watch everything explode most of the time) but I thought I'd try and bring attention to this UniBullet (name pending, much like the entire suggestion)
So, a basic concept of how this thing is going to work as of this moment;
Damage: 15
Velocity: 5.5
Crafted with: Explosive Powder(1), Fireblossom Seed (1), + Empty Bullets (30), Tungsten Core (30) = 30 UniBullets. (It seems fair that this queen among bullets wouldn't have as many jewels made at once, and would be slightly more complex.)
Note: Tungsten Cores would be sold by the Cyborg after the player reaches the Lunar Tier. They themselves could be a piercing bullet, on top of being a crafting part.
Tungsten Core
Damage: 9
Velocity: 5
Properties: Will pierce through more than one target (2? 3? Until it hits the world? Let's decide.)
Description of use: This bullet would work as follows, step by step;
ALTERNATIVELY;

Description of use: This bullet would work as follows, step by step;
- The bullet strikes its target
- The bullet explodes and sends fragments around, then causes On Fire!
- The bullet's core keeps going to hit something behind the target, if possible. What comes out the other side becomes a High Velocity Bullet.
ALTERNATIVELY;
- The bullet strikes its target
- The bullet's damage from the hit itself ignores say 1/4 or 1/5 of the target's Defense
- The bullet immediately afterward explodes, fragments, and burns.
