I know this is a dumb question but I've skimmed around and not seen it. What do the bullets mean on the side. New bullet means theres been a post and spend casing means none since you last visited but what about the firing bullet and the smoking spent brass that is animated?

The animated versions represent what other forums would call a 'hot' thread, or one that regularly sees (or has seen) a lot of posts.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.
Excerpt from "Seeress of Kell", Book Five of The Malloreon series by David Eddings.

What about the exploding grenades? I assume they represent a "hot" sticky.

Nope, exploding grenade is a sticky post with unread posts. Like looking at the top of Nuts & Bolts, I have no unread posts in the stickies for Suggest Dakka Glossary Terms and the Funny Page Titles, but I do have unread posts for Suggest Army Rank Tracks here.
