Gunobtainium

Gunobtainium is an element that, while commonly found in its refined state, is incredibly rare in raw form.

Gunobtanium is element #12.5 on the periodic table, featuring a split half of an atom in its makeup. This makes it incredibly volatile, and as such, almost never stored in its pure form. Gunobtainium is mixed with other metals by elite blacksmiths to create all known forms of firearm, at which point it must be forged with a Neurosteel hammer to create varying guns. Trace amounts are often used in bullets, as well, though some models fire alternative rounds that contain none.

Gunobtainium has also historically been mixed with water to create Gun Water, another dangerous substance that has been outlawed in many countries due to lobbying by the Aqualogist clergy.
