I think they're just trying to get us to change powered-up Bouncers so they would bounce through the level indefinitely.
Now that I think of it, that's a nice idea for a scripted level. Give every player 10 bouncer bullets that, once shot, keep on bouncing around until hurting someone or destroying something. When the player fires an 11th bullet, the oldest disappears. Could make levels very dangerous!
