You can trowthrow a bullet through air but you cancan't throw a dust particle, because bullet inertia and drag (or air viscosity) scale differently. If people in your world isare small enough -let's say, one millimetre tall or less- bullets from hand guns won't have an useful range, but they can build enormous guns -1 mm or 1 cm calibre- with a range large enough to be practical.
