<upd_detl>This is currently a sense in 玉/たま but it shows up quite often as a suffix where it's pronounced だん rather than たま.

I'm not entirely sure it's ever pronounced たま; maybe when it is used as a noun?</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>Just going by the entries listed in JMDict there's 砲弾/ほうだん, 銃弾/じゅうだん, 防弾/ぼうだん etc. 

All of these are nouns with a '弾' suffix, where '弾' carries the meaning 'bullet'.

Some fantasy works also seem to use terms like 炎弾, 魔力弾, 空気弾 but I can't find any authoritative references on those.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>I don't think that's 弾 being used as a suffix - it's just the regular use of a kanji in Japanese kango morphology. Unidic. which is a major morpheme lexicon, shows 砲弾, 銃弾 and 防弾 as free-standing morphemes; not as noun+suffix formations.</upd_detl>
