This line is said by the intruder in the play "The One-Act Play" by Douglas James. The intruder says this when he is describing how he communicates his threats and intentions.

The phrase “I said it with bullets” is a figurative way of saying that the intruder has used force or violence (symbolized by bullets) to make his point. He implies that his words or threats are backed by violent action or the potential for harm.
(iii) Is it the truth? What is the speaker’s reason for saying this?
It is not the truth. The intruder uses this phrase to intimidate and create fear.
