Couldn't find this one anywhere.....
If I get a unique weapon on a chronicle sheet (or just go to buy one normally), does it have to be the same weapon type, assuming it makes sense?
For instance, can I get a Flame Tongue as a kukri or warhammer instead of a longsword?

Actually, there is one exception of note: ammunition found on chronicle sheets can be purchased for any weapon. So +1 flaming shuriken could be bullets, bolts, or arrows.
Bullets could refer to sling bullets or firearm bullets, so IMO it is best to specify which you mean.
In this case both are applicable.

I've never seen a Paizo product describe firearm bullets as anything but "bullets." It would be nice if there were a further distinction, but it's probably best to couch things in the terms the system uses.

Please see Ultimate Combat or Ultimate Equipment.
They are explicitly called out as firearm bullets.

And yet, on a certain Chronicle where you face off against a gunslinger, they're listed as just "bullets".

"Bullets" are in the CRB, and is used as ammunition for slings, and aren't usable with firearms, which is why firearm bullets are referred to as "firearm bullets".
As to a certain Chronicle that has ammo from a gunslinger listed as simply "bullets", that's just sloppy editing; due to the ruling Illeist pointed out (which is actually a FAQ answer), it doesn't actually matter, since you can buy it as any ammo type.
It's not sloppy editing, it's a change in policy. It used to be that specific ammo was specific ammo, but this has been changed with that FAQ. Now you don't have to have the exact same type of ranged weapon to get some fun out of custom ammo on any chronicle.
Newer chronicle sheets also list it as "ammunition", not as specifically bolts or arrows or bullets.

It actually is sloppy editing. Because if its going to refer to a specific type of ammo, then it needs to refer to the actual specific type of ammo. Just because ammo is comprehensive now, doesn't mean that a chronicle sheet created before that (or that used a specific term) shouldn't use the correct term.

Ok, so I'm necro-ing my own thread...but I have a followup question :)
If I bought a unique weapon (such as Flame Tongue), could I enhance it further? It's currently a +1 weapon (with other stuff), could I enhance it to +2?
