	The following is based on Fallout Tactics and some details might contradict canon.

12 Gauge Slug Shells are a type of 12 Gauge shells that appeared exclusively in Fallout Tactics.

Description: Solid-slug shotgun ammunition.

[edit] Notes

• Damage is increased against individual, armored targets, but burst shots will rarely hit multiple targets.

[edit] Locations

• Mardin, in the shelf inside the shed which is marked "heavily patrolled" on the Pip Boy map; also on some of the guards.
• Merchant Special Encounter, for sale.
• Trader Special Encounter, for sale.

[edit] Behind the scenes

• With a projectile weight of one ounce and a projectile diameter of 0.729" (effectively a 72 caliber weapon), the shotgun slug is a devastating projectile at short to medium ranges. However, its minimally-aerodynamic architecture limits its range, so a shotgun slug possesses superior ballistic characteristics over short ranges, but lacks the long-range lethality of a rifle round.
