Musket Ball sits at the low end with 7 damage. Luminite Bullet sits at the top with 20 damage. Mid range options like Silver, Tungsten, Crystal, and Chlorophyte show how small gains add up across long fights. The list covers pre Hardmode and Hardmode types so new and late game shooters can be placed on one scale.
How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Start with Musket Ball and Luminite Bullet to see the full range. Then swap in Meteor Shot or Party Bullet to check early upgrades. Values are base damage only, so add your gun damage in game.
Damage numbers come from the Official Terraria Wiki Bullets table. Meteor Shot is 8, not 9, after the 1.4.1 change. Cursed Bullet is 15 and Ichor Bullet is 13. Crystal and Chlorophyte are both 9 but have different flight and hit effects. Special effects like bounce, pierce, homing, and shards are not part of the damage number. Check the Wiki page for velocity, knockback, and crafting notes.
