Pistol of the Infinity Sky: What Happens to the Bullets?

[call1me1sandwich]

So I went and got myself a Pistol of the Infinite Sky.

Context:

Considering that my character is evil, which means he is going to use his weapon to do some bad stuff (preferably using some Oil of Silence), and that firearms are pretty rare in Golarion, I fear he might easily be identified as the perpetrator of the crimes in which he uses his pistol. I figure that divination magic will come and bite me in the bottom sooner than later if I leave a bunch of used bullets everywhere I go.

However, the spell in the construction requirements for this magic item is Reloading Hands. Does this mean the bullets conjured by a pistol of the infinite sky disappear a few rounds after being fired like with this spell?

Construction requirements don't actually affect the item in any way. They are usually just appropriate fluff and make it just a little bit harder to create.

Since the write up doesn't say, its a gm call.

Similar items all say the conjured ammo disappears eventually. But that doesn't mean it has to be like everything else. It doesn't even say you can't pull the ammo out of the gun, just that new ammo appears when you fire it. Admittedly that means if you remove the ammo, you need to put in a new shot and fire it to get another conjured bullet. That actually points out that maybe the ammo is permanent because the ammo that got summoned yesterday is still in the barrel till you fire it. So really, this goes either way.

I think the reason why most similar items say the conjured ammo disappears eventually is that ammo has inherent value to it, even if a DM rules that it is deformed upon being shot. You would not want a player to think of what they can do with an infinite supply of, well, anything. Hence the limitation of the ammo disappearing eventually.

Spells like Wall of Iron always have a "the material created cannot be sold or used for crafting" clause, so I suppose you could rule it that way as well.

I find it weird that you can't even use wall of iron to craft a better wall...

As for the bullets well most shells afer being fired are un usable unless you melt them down so it would be fair for a dm to say no you cant retreave the bullets.
