Rubber buckshot (no ontology)
From Mazeworld
Rubber buckshot (Also known as less-lethal buckshot) is a type of load for 12 gauge shotgun shells. In lieu of containing lead shot, this shell contains less-lethal rubber buckshot. It has much less chances to penetrate, and is designed to stun and incapacitate rather than kill. Beware, as these shells are still capable of causing lethal damage, especially if fired excessively or aimed at the head.

Usage notes
Rubber 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.
Rubber buckshot is also a less-lethal shell, designed to incapacitate. The projectiles it fires, while still capable of causing damage, is designed to NOT penetrate the target, and should instead bounce on the body of the target, causing bruises.
- Less-lethal ammunition has a chance to stun the target, per successful hit.
- Rubber buckshot has a 20% chance to stun the target for 1 turn, per pellet hit. Multiple stunning hits may stack up the stun duration.
