“Shotgun ammunition. This particular ammo is marked: "12-gauge shells, not for use by children under the age of 3."”— Item description
12 ga. Shotgun Shells are a type of ammunition in Fallout 2.
Gameplay
A fairly common ammo type, the AC modifier of the shotgun shell will make it a little bit more accurate than any of the other starting guns until .223 FMJ weaponry are found. Even late-game enemies will use Pancor Jackhammers, making the shotgun shell a valuable ammo type. In Fallout, the accuracy bonus is not applied.
