Usage notes

Flechette 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. Flechette has the following effects:

  • FT-1
  • Shell contains multiple projectiles:
    • 12 gauge version: 20 projectiles ; On a successful hit, 1d20 projectiles may hit the target.
    • .410 bore version: 10 projectiles ; On a successful hit, 1d10 projectiles may hit the target.

Flechette is also capable of bypassing bullet-proof clothes, allowing it to damage clothing with this trait. In that regard, it can be thought of as an armor-piercing shell type.
