Special Shotgun Loads

Editorial Note:

I still use the concept of multiple hits from shotgun blasts at medium/long range that was introduced in Friday Night Firefight 2013. This means that my shotguns are a lot deadlier at short range (where one person takes the whole shot), but less deadly at longer ranges (where the damage is spread out across several areas). Where prices are not listed for both 10 and 12 gauge, the price is for 12g, 10g costs 50% more.
Whenever a munition says it hits 2 locations, roll on the following hit location table (from Friday Night Firefight 2013):

All-Brass Shot

20eb/20 12g shells, 30eb/20 10g shells
Consists of 24 or so round pieces of brass shot. 50m range

Sharp Shot

30eb/20 12g shells, 45eb/20 12g shells
Consists of 24 or so pieces of jagged metal and/or glass chunks. Same as All-Brass for damages, hits and burst. Soft armor only provides 2/3 SP, 40m range

Glass Powder Load

60eb/20 12g shells, 90eb/20 10g shells
25m range, -1 Weapon Reliability, 2x SP

Thermite Shot

30eb each, 50m range, each round fired after fifth has cumulative 10% chance of warping barrel.

Sharps & Powder

50eb/20 shells. A combination of glass chunks and glass dust. 30m range, -1 Weapon Reliability

Shot & Powder

40eb/20 shells. A combination of all-brass shot and glass dust. 40m range, -1 Weapon Reliability, +50% Armor SP. Range and Damage categories are the same as for Sharps & Powder ammo above.

PiezoShot

15eb/shot. Fires a nylon bag full of conductive metallic dust and an electric trigger. When the bag impacts it deals 2d6+2 damage and ruptures creating a 3m cloud of dust which is then electrified by the trigger device (if it fires successfully – 70% chance). All inside the cloud must make a stun save at -2 or be zonked for d6+1 rounds.
