The Shrike Bullets were originally daggers that were melted into bullets, capable of killing the Shrike with greater ease.
History[]
Creation[]
- "Sarge gave us his stockpile of daggers. And we've melted them down to make bullets."
- ―Jemma Simmons[src]
Due to the uneasy collaboration between Sarge and S.H.I.E.L.D., Sarge provided S.H.I.E.L.D. with several quantities of Shrike Daggers. In order to have a more efficient way to deal with numerous Shrike hosts, Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons melted the daggers and used the material to make bullets, which retained the same properties of the daggers and fragmented on impact, thus making sure that it remained inside the hosts' bodies.[1]
Battle at the Temple of the Forgotten[]
Even Sarge commended the invention, stating that he should have thought about it earlier. Still, Melinda May, who had a well-known distaste for firearms and preferred blades, kept using the traditional Shrike Dagger when approaching the Temple of the Forgotten. When the team of Sarge, May and Quake came across Izel's army, and managed to fight them off using the bullets.[1]
Capabilities[]
- "Yeah, the bullets are designed to fragment, so they stay embedded in the Shrike."
"It's the only way to kill them." - ―Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons[src]
The material contained in the Shrike Daggers after melting kept its ability to induce a chemical reaction within the Shrike's body, which paralyzed it and eventually caused its death along with the death of its host. However, now in the form of bullets, which can be fired from a firearm, it enables their user to easily deal with a group of Shrike hosts.
