QotD: What is a bullet?

Mad Max: Fury Road is a masterpiece. But that is for another post. Right now I want to discuss a line that I think most people missed. "Angharad used to call them anti-seed. Plant one and watch the thing die." What is the "THEM"? Bullets. This isn't a political post. It isn't an gun rights...
