TL7 SHOTGUN AMMUNITION (based on GURPS: High Tech 2E rules)

Copyright(c) Brian E. Gross 1995, 1996

Table is based on the standard 2.75 inch 12 gauge shell with 4d damage.
If using 3 inch magnum shells, base damage goes to 5d.

For various gauges (at TL7) use:
   8g = 5d+2
  10g = 5d
  12g = 4d (or 5d)
  16g = 3d+2
  20g = 3d
  28g = 2d+2
 .410 = 2d+2 (caliber mult = X1.5)

Note that I have introduced the concept of modifying blow-through
limits for some rounds (usually because of low-density materials).

If you don't wish to alter the GURPS standard blow-through rules,
just disregard this part of the round's description.
