Simple Magitek Operator question

[Orolin]

Not actually a magitek operator question, but I don't want to make a whole new thread for it. The chemist ability, Alchemical Bullet. If you use it to infuse a bullet with a beneficial item, do you still deal attack damage to the target you fire it at? I'm just thinking about stuff like Potion Shell and Ether Shell in Tactics A2

Sorry for all the questions xD
