Aluminum bullets emerge in the Wax and Wayne era as a technological innovation that neutralizes Allomantic detection, fundamentally altering the balance of power between lawmen and criminals. First appearing in Shadows of Self, these bullets are constructed entirely of aluminum, rendering them invisible to steelsight and immune to Allomantic manipulation. Their introduction marks a pivotal shift in Mistborn's technological evolution, transforming traditional Allomantic combat into a game of cat-and-mouse where even the most powerful Coinshots must adapt to this new threat.
