CAWS flechette (no ontology)
From Mazeworld
CAWS flechette 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 flechette shotgun shell.
Mazeworld overview
The variant used in Mazeworld uses 1 inch long flechettes made of tungsten, and is based on a purely theoretical load which was only mentioned in passing as a possible future plan for CAWS shell loads. For all intents and purposes, it does not exist in real life, but it's not like that's going to stop us.
| Type | LDV | Unarm | Light | Hardskin | Kevlar-2 | Kevlar-3 | Kevlar-4 | HEV |
| Bullet (1 flechette) | +1 | 20% | 20% | 20% | 17% | 14% | 9% | 6% |
The above chart applies for ONE flechette, and may be multiplied by the amount of flechette that hit the target (up to 20).

Usage notes
Flechette 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.
