Is this book worth picking up? The premise seems interesting enough but I'm still hesitant to pull the trigger. Is each issue a self-contained story or are there multiple issue arcs?

Don't limit yourself by the initial concept. While that is important to the story, there is a huge level of complexity that grows as the book goes on. There are things that will occur issue to issue and there are things that will appear in issue #1 that you may not understand until issue #65.
Brian Azzerello had thought up an excellent crime drama, I think, and plotted it exceptionally well.
Risso and Azzarello have some kind of freaky mind-twin-chemistry going on with this book. It's really just strange how well his art meshes with the writing.
Anyway, this series is awesome. It does get very convoluted and conspiracy-heavy, but it's fun trying to figure out where everything is going. To the OP, the whole "briefcase and 100 untraceable bullets" thing is just a premise to set up the rest of the book. That very quickly ceases to be the hub of the plot.
About once a year since I started buying the book, I like to go back and re-read everything all over again, because there are a lot of things that you forget about. And it's just that damn good a read.
