Buckshot has a main trait that single-projectile ammunition don't have: it is a '''multiple-projectile''' type of ammunition. It can be treated as both an advantage and a weakness:

* FT-1

-
*<span style="color: red">The drawback:</span> Whereas single-projectile ammunition almost always deal the same amount of damage, '''multiple-projectile ammunition doesn't''', because the full load of projectiles rarely ALL hit the target, unless the contestant scores 12, in which case they do all hit.

** [[12 gauge]] version: 9 projectiles ; On a successful hit, '''1d9''' projectiles may hit the target.

*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 multiple-projectile ammunition than with single-projectile ammunition, since the amount of projectiles hitting the target depends on the dice score itself. For every [[Secondary effect|increased accuracy]] (FT-1) occurrence, '''add 1 to the dice score'''. Likewise, for every [[Secondary effect|decreased accuracy]] (FT+1) occurrence, '''substract 1 to the dice score'''.

  • FT-1
  • Shell contains multiple projectiles:
    • 12 gauge version: 9 projectiles ; On a successful hit, 1d9 projectiles may hit the target.
