Buckshot is a '''multiple-projectile''' type of ammunition. The amount of projectiles hitting the target is variable, and is also influenced by the failure threshold; lower scores mean less chances to hit, and higher scores mean higher chances to hit.

CAWS buckshot is a type of load for the special-purpose 12 gauge CAWS cartridge developed by Heckler & Koch and Olin/Winchester for use in the Heckler ＆ Koch CAWS. It is a non-conventional buckshot shotgun shell.

Mazeworld overview

The variant used in Mazeworld uses tungsten 00 buckshot, a load that was supposedly never made by H&K (tungsten pellets they developed only included #2 buckshot), for the sake of simplicity in order to keep the same pellet mechanics as regular buckshot.

Type LDV C1 C2 C3 A1 A2 A3 A4 A5
Bullet +1 22% 21% 20% 17% 14% 11% 5% 2%

The above chart applies for ONE pellet, and may be multiplied by the amount of pellets that hit the target (up to 8). How to read this?

  • Available for purchase in a gun shop or a weapon shop, in retail boxes of 10 rounds (40 P$/box)
  • Value of a single round is 4 P$
  • Recoil level of this round is 3 - Normal
  • Propels up to 9 pellets per shot.

Usage notes

Buckshot is a multiple-projectile type of ammunition, meaning that if the shot fired is a hit, this ammunition type is capable of inflicting multiple hits. CAWS buckshot has the following effects:

  • FT-1
  • Shell contains 9 projectiles ; On a successful hit, 1d9 projectiles may hit the target.
