A Machinist's firearm fires real bullets/slugs. The aetherotransformer powers the Machinist's tools and attachments, such as the Gauss Barrel - which, utilizing lightning aspect, greatly increases the velocity and penetrating power of the machinist's bullets. It can also provide extra juice for normal rounds, which is likely where the "ammo" reloading buffs come in.
