(1.21 Update) How would the Ammo work?

As of the recent 1.21 update, which adds the special "Crafting juice", Fish mentioned something about making the Juice into ammo (maybe), and I just have one question: How would that work?

So I decided to create this topic so people can discuss how Juice Ammo would work, I personally think Fish will add specific Juice-ammo that's different from the Crafting Juice, but have a similar effect in the way that Arcing Juice zaps you and Searing Juice burns you, but also act in different ways, like Lightning Bullets would home in on  enemies because of enemies being made of Juice or something (Lightning likes liquid), while Fire Bullets would create tiny puddles of Magma that could burn enemies.

So, what do you guys think?

Honestly, I don't really know. Having not played the update, I'm not sure what the rarity of this new crafting juice is, but given how much inventory space it would take up if you had to stockpile it as ammo (and how tedious it'd be if you had to reload the guns after every shot), I'd imagine that the "guns" that would use it would be able to hold multiple crafting juices at a time as ammo, and each shot would use a portion of the juice. That, or the guns would automatically use whatever special juice was in your inventory - although that wouldn't resolve the issue of special juice taking up a load of inventory space.

Personally, I'd totally go for the "juice guns" being like water guns, where you'd fill the guns with crafting juice and spray out juice bullets of a certain kind affected by whatever you filled the gun with. Perhaps filling the "juice reservoir" of these super-soaker-esque guns with multiple kinds of juice would mix their effects, either allowing you to stack juice with a certain effect or create synergies of different effects that you prefer. Just spitballing.

That sounds valid! I mean, it would be a bit busted combining Arcing Juice with Searing Juice for something that's equal to Silver Bullets for everything, but maybe there could be thematic guns that auto-convert "Basic" Juice Ammo into special Ammo, just like some weapons in the hit 2-d survival game known as Terraria or something similar. I was also thinking the same idea with the whole "Chewing up inventory space" thing, except maybe make it so that Juice Ammo would be more common than normal Crafting Juice, and has the ability to stack, maybe also allow it to be altered by some Crafting Juice for various effects.

But yea, I personally like it! I wonder what Fish thinks...
