How did Volkov end up bringing two bullets, the normal one and the inverted one in one magazine and how did he try to shoot?
I have a question about the scene in Tenet at Stalsk-12, where Volkov tries to shoot TP in the head.
First of all, it seemed like Volkov ended up bringing two bullets with him and it's unclear how he did that:
- normal bullet, forward through time, the one that he try to shoot Ives. Then,
- The inverted bullet that will killed neil.
But then when Volkov was ordered by Sator to shoot TP in the head, he was intent to shoot him, right? Not catching it. Plus the woman scientist explained that "you have to have dropped the bullet" if you want to catch inverted bullet. So in this scene 'you have to have caught the bullet if you want to shoot TP in the head using the inverted one'. But Volkov doesn't know about the bullet, right?
Best Answer
Both bullets fired by Volkov are normal (un-inverted). Inverted bullets are not required to shoot inverted individuals; from an inverted person's perspective, being shot with a normal bullet is equivalent to a normal (un-inverted) person being shot with an inverted bullet, which is shown in the film to result in equivalent penetrating trauma (not counting the toxic effects of the radiation from an inverted bullet).

How does Neil take the bullet in Tenet?
Neil's role in that sequence was just to open the door. In his timeline it meant to arrive when the door was open, go in and shut it. Then his head gets punctured by Volkov's bullet going back into the pistol, but that was just his bad luck and the Protagonist's good luck.Was Neil inverted the whole time?
The Protagonist is part of the Red Team, who will be performing the operation through the normal direction of time while Neil is part of the Blue Team, which observed the operation from afar and then were inverted, traveling backward in time, knowing what they need to do to be victorious.Is Neil inverted at the opera?

Neil goes to the left side and holds the gate open. Neil closes and locks the gate. Neil gets shot by Volkov. The latch or bolt (encircled in red in this screenshot) moves, signifying that the gate is unlocked (or locked, in inverted POV).Shoot or Capture Anton Volkov - All Choices - CALL OF DUTY: BLACK OPS COLD WAR
