12 gauge shotgun shell (Fallout: New Vegas)

The 12 gauge shotgun shell is a type of ammunition manufactured by Purebore in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
Fallout: New Vegas and Gun Runners' Arsenal include an extreme variety of different types of ammunition, the most out of any other ammunition type. These include flamethrower shells, flechettes, Magnum, slugs, and more. They are also easy to make and offer an excellent source of gunpowder and other raw materials.

Bugs

 * Bean bags nominally cause 250 points of fatigue damage, but due to the nature of the game engine, they can only deal 50 per shot. Additionally, there is a base damage each shotgun shell inflicts (12.25 per shot), meaning that most targets will sooner get killed than knocked out.
 * A third part fix for this issue exists.
 * Both standard slugs and Gun Runners' Arsenal pulse slugs have the same chance to drop empty hulls as the rest of the shells, at 40%, but do not actually reference the 12 gauge hull item.
