20 Gauge Round

20 gauge shotgun shell is a type of ammunition in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
20 gauge shotgun shells are very similar to their better known cousin, the 12 gauge shotgun shells. 20 gauge shells consist of a hull loaded with pistol powder and using multiple projectiles.

20 gauge, magnum
Magnum shells are standard buckshot shells fitted with a higher internal powder load, increasing velocity and stopping power. The downside is that they cause more damage to the firearm used due to the higher overall pressure, requiring more regular maintenance.

20 gauge, slug
Slugs contain a large lead projectile promoting better accuracy and kinetic energy over a distance. Slugs enable a shotgun to engage targets at a further distance.

20 gauge, 3/0 buck
A sub-type added with the new add-on Gun Runners' Arsenal, these loads sacrifice quantity for quality, in other words there are fewer projectiles overall but they're heavier and pack a bigger punch.

20 gauge, 3/0 buck magnum
A sub-type added with the new add-on Gun Runners' Arsenal, these magnum shells use the larger 3/0 shot size, but with a greater powder load resulting in higher velocity.

20 gauge, pulse slug
A sub-type added with the new add-on Gun Runners' Arsenal, these slugs cause more damage to power armor and robots, and the target gets an extra kick from an electromagnetic pulse triggered by the impact.
