Bullets...
Maybe there's something in the fact that the girl in the control room asked for authorisation for pyrotechnics when Ed Harris was blasting his way out of jail. Now obviously you couldn't make decisions about bullets in real time the same way you could with an explosive charge with a fuse, but perhaps there's some sort of system in place which decides what happens when a "bullet", whatever that may constitute, hits something. Like a computer tracks where the bullets go and they act accordingly. Like if hits a guest it just stings, but if it hits a host it explodes or triggers the damage in some other way.
Think about something like an RPG round which counts how many rotations it's made and knows how far from the person firing it is so it knows whether to arm the round or not so that you don't blow yourself up if you accidentally fire it into a wall 6 feet in front of you. If a grenade can do that, maybe a "bullet" can be programmed to do damage or not depending on where a computer can tell it's going to hit.
Edit: Yet the bullets can penetrate doors and break glass. Argh.
