Aug 28, 2022 at 16:36 comment added PdotWang I do not think 球弹 (qiu2-dan4, not qiu2-tan2) has any meaning other than "a ball-shaped bomb". I checked "billiards" with Google Translate. It can be (1) 台球 (billiard ball) and (2) 弹子 (marble, pellet) of a slingshot or a pellet gun. But there is not a word of 球弹. By the way, 弹子 is not 子弹 which is used for weapons. There is a word 胡椒球弹 in the wiki which means a Pepperball launched by a policeman with a Pepper-spray projectile.

Aug 28, 2022 at 15:44 comment added PdotWang @Konstantinos Could you please cut and paste some context on 球弹 from the Pleco Dictionary?
Aug 28, 2022 at 12:57 comment added Konstantinos Wait. According to Pleco dictionary, 球弹 means ball. You say that in this sentence 球 is enough for ball? In that case the 弹 should be considered a verb? But what does it mean? Dictionaries say that it means to shoot. Maybe another meaning, to eject or to send forth should be used here?
