Everything you need to know
General Information
The venom-infused ammunition boasts the second-highest base damage, albeit other types outperform it in many ways.
Venom Bullets coming into enemy contact apply the Acid Venom debuff, which deals +2DMG/s for 10s. Aside from the base damage (including used guns), 50 total damage is done.
During combat, Venom Bullets are treated as secondary ammo because of their damaging debuff. The extra punch it offers complements other bullets, like how Ichor reduces an enemy's armor.
