Maybe coating is a laymens term in this scenario used to not put off sections of an audience by needlessly explaining such a minor feature. It is already known that intense trauma, such as that of the impact of a bullet can penatrate a ghouls torso the problem is that ghouls can regenerate incredibly fast. The 'coating' could merely refer to the outer most layer of the bullets normal structure is made with Q steel instead of the normal material that is used, thus allowing the bullets to also affect the RC cells that usually regenerate their bodies so quickly.

Coating could merely be used to refer to the fact that they only use a small amount of the material on the outer areas of the bullet, due to what it takes to get their hands on it, when manufacturing these things. As for the barrel, reinforced Q steel seems to ward off kagune attacks just fine, it could probably be used to increase the amount of time before the gun's efficiency degrades.
