Shotshells (10) (5e Equipment)

Rarity: Uncommon Used for more damage in shorter-range engagements than typical bullets would be capable of, shotshells add the advantage of spraying an area with multiple smaller projectiles instead of firing a single bulky projectile. Shotshells can only be used in non-shotguns. While loaded with shotshells, a gun's ranges decreases by half their total, and damage rolls with shotshells gain a +1 bonus. Shotshells are treated as buckshot for the purposes of applying other special ammunition types, what can't usually be used for buckshot - for example, Tranquilizer Rounds, Semi-Armor Piercing Bullets, Armor Piercing Bullets, Armor Piercing Discarding Sabot Rounds, Incendiary Bullets, Explosive Bullets, Hollow Point Bullets, Match Grade Bullets, Hellsing Special Ammunition. Usually, Subsonic Bullets, Rubber Bullets, Subsonic Bullets can be applied on buckshot.
