20x75mm Chelti Shotgun Pyro

The semi-standard 20x75mm shotgun pyrotechnic shell. Similar in construction to Buck shot, the pyro round differs most strikingly in the material its sub-caliber munitions are created from. Magnesium or other metals with high burning temperatures are used to create a fiery plethora of hazardous projectiles capable of setting buildings, cars, and people on fire easily.

Unfortunately due to the lower density of these metals as well as the damaging effect of such munitions going through the barrel of the gun, these rounds are not suitable for automatic shotguns. As a specialist ammunition it sells for 300ks per box of twenty.
