Sure, you can set up interference experiments with macro-sized
particles. Bullet-shaped particles are however not the best types of
particles. Prefer particles whose mathematical representation is nearer
to a vector than to a point or a sphere, for example needles, rods or
even baseball bats. Let then the orientation of this object be steered
by the phase of a pilot wave (acoustic, hydraulic, electromagnetic...).
The rod-like particles will then impinge on the target depending on the
phase of the wave at that point. Different orientations of the rod mean
different collision distributions. The detection probability on the
target will follow the interference pattern.
If not, I am interested in knowing what properties set the particles
distinguish this?
As explained above, you need vector-shaped particles whose evolution
follow quantum rules. Decoherence occurs when these particles run out
of phase with the pilot wave.
