CAWS buckshot (no ontology)
From Mazeworld
CAWS buckshot is a type of load for the special-purpose 12 gauge belted 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 | Unarm | Light | Hardskin | Kevlar-2 | Kevlar-3 | Kevlar-4 | HEV |
| Bullet (1 pellet) | +1 | 23% | 22% | 21% | 17% | 12% | 6% | 2% |
The above chart applies for ONE pellet, and may be multiplied by the amount of pellets that hit the target (up to 8).
| Dice score | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 |

Usage notes
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.
- It must be noted that failure threshold modifiers work differently with multiple-projectile ammunition than with single-projectile ammunition. For every increased accuracy (FT-1) occurrence, add 1 to the dice score. Likewise, for every decreased accuracy (FT+1) occurrence, subtract 1 to the dice score.
- Should the modified result ends up being 12 or greater, it counts as a critical hit of a natural 12. Likewise, if the modified result ends up being 2 or less, it counts as a critical failure of a natural 2.
