Because it is similar to standard buckshot, it has the same tactical perks that makes it different from bullets:
 
-
 
-
*<span style="color: #00ff00">The advantage:</span> Even if the dice score is poor, the [[Contestant|contestant]] '''may still be able to hit his/her target''' (although with minimum power) unless he/she scores a critical failure.
 
-
*<span style="color: red">The drawback:</span> Whereas bullets almost always hit at full power, '''12 gauge belted doesn't''', unless the contestant scores 12, in which case all eight pellets hit. Because of this, '''the failure threshold is not useful''' - only your actual dice score is.
 
-
 
-
Because of these facts, 12 gauge belted ammo is played a little differently than other firearms. Whether those traits can be helpful or not depend mostly on the contestant's strategy and style, although there are a few recommendations:
 
-
 
-
*Avoiding '''heavily armored targets''', unless the contestant is positively sure to hit a lesser-armored weak point.
 
-
*It must be noted that '''failure threshold modifiers''' work differently with 12 gauge belted than with any other type of ammunition, since the amount of pellets that hit the target are dependent on the total score. For every [[Secondary effect|increased accuracy]] occurrence, the amount of pellets that hit is '''your score +1'''. Likewise, for every [[Secondary effect|decreased accuracy]] occurrence, '''your score -1'''.
