A '''slug''' (also called '''shotgun slug''') is a type of load for [[12 gauge]] '''shotgun shells'''. The particular version that is standard-issue in Mazeworld are 12 gauge shells containing '''Foster''' slugs.

In a sense, slugs can be compared to bullets, as they are essentially hunks of rifled lead made to mimic the performance of a traditional rifle. In terms of performance, it fares pretty well and delivers very respectable power, although at a somewhat low muzzle velocity. As such, it can be considered a high-tier &quot;caliber&quot;, although the proper term would be '''gauge''' or '''bore diameter'''.

=== Real-life data ===
+
-
Shotgun shells, and subsequently, shotguns themselves, have existed since the 19th century. They have been declined in various types and versions, suited for different needs and purposes, from hunting to home defense, to military and law enforcement applications. Two major kinds of shotgun shells can be differentiated: those that contain [[Buckshot|lead shot]], and '''slugs'''.
+
-
 
+
-
Shotgun slugs were invented by '''Wilhelm Brenneke''' in 1898, a German small arms inventor and founder of the Brenneke GmbH, an ammunition manufacturing company. He created and popularized the use of rifled shotguns for his '''Brenneke slugs''', of which the design is still used as of today.
+
-
 
+
-
Slugs are single projectiles made of lead, made to simulate rifle-like performance with a shotgun, by offering a single, large projectile as opposed to a number of smaller ones like with buckshot. Slugs offer better range and more power, in a narrower hit radius, akin to a rifle bullet.
+
-
 
+
-
Several types of shotgun slugs exist. Many of them are variations of the original '''Brenneke''' slugs, which required specific, rifled barrels made for firing slugs.<br />
+
-
'''Foster''' slugs are designed to fit in '''smoothbore barrels'''. very common in the United States, and can be loaded in the wide majority of shotguns without the need for a barrel replacement.
+
-
 
+
-
Foster slugs are primarily used for hunting, having no real military application. Counter-terrorist units however may use slugs as '''breaching rounds''', to explode the hinges off of locked doors.

Made to kill or severely cripple anything that doesn't have minimum protection, shotgun slugs are quite powerful rounds that can serve as effective finishers, which can be complimented well with other shell types, or even other, less hard-hitting weapons.
+
-
 
+
-
Being essentially large bullets for shotguns, they can serve as a cheap yet reliable alternative to actual rifles. Shotguns loaded with those rounds lose the advantage of wide hitting area that [[Buckshot|buckshot]] and [[Flechette|flechette]] have, but allows for harder-hitting shots. They are treated like bullets in-game.
+
-
Slugs are about as common as buckshot - it can be found in boxes of 20 or 100, at random in the [[Room|rooms]] or bought at a [[Gun shop|gun shop]] or [[Weapon shop|weapon shop]]. When a 12 gauge weapon is found anywhere but in gun/weapon shops, there is a chance it may be loaded with slugs as well.<br />

=== Usage notes ===
-
At one of the aforementioned shops, its price '''is the same''' as [[Buckshot|buckshot]], sold for cheap price of '''2 [[Parallar|P$]] per shell'''. It is also possible to find slugs in [[AMMO-5 crate|AMMO-5]] supply crates - 60 of them are inside.
