Galactic Horizon 12Gauge Shotgun Shells
In YE 40 Galactic Horizon began expanding into the shotgun market and decided to manufacture their own ammunition, which features recessed extractor grooves for improved feeding and reliability over a traditional rimmed shotgun shell. Below is a list of the produced shells along with relevant information for them. The shells are easily identified by a combination of their brightly-coloured polymer sections and then the blocky, easy-to-read text printed on the side. Despite the internal components of each specific shell varying they all feature a biodegradable cup/wad in addition to using non-poisonous metals for the projectiles themselves.
Lite-Shot
A green 12-gauge shotgun shell that uses small Durandium Alloy pellets and a solid block of relatively low-velocity propellant, generally used for pest-control and hunting small game.
-
Size: 0.71 inches (18 mm) diameter, 2.5 inches (63 mm) length
Caliber: 12 gauge
Damage Description: Peppers targets with small wounds
Effective Range: 45 meters
Muzzle Velocity: 1,000 fps
Muzzle Blast: A cone of fire erupts from the weapon’s barrel with each shot as escaping gasses are burnt off.
Recoil: Minimal
Energy Source: Chemical
-
Subsonic Scatter-Shot
A black 12-gauge shotgun shell that uses a solid block of lower-velocity propellant and heavy 000 Nerimium buckshot to remain subsonic unlike its predecessors.
-
Size: 0.71 inches (18 mm) diameter, 2.5 inches (63 mm) length
Caliber: 12 gauge
Damage Description: Rips into targets.
Effective Range: 45 meters
Muzzle Velocity: 1,000 fps
Muzzle Blast: A cone of fire erupts from the weapon’s barrel with each shot as escaping gasses are burnt off.

-
.45 Flogger
A white shotgun shell featuring a hollow-point 11.5x43mm "Slugger" round packed inside a scored, non-discarding Durandium Alloy sabot. It is designed primarily as a “man-stopper” type defensive round that will drop most targets in a single shot and shred any flesh it contacts into red slurry.
-
Size: 0.71 inches (18 mm) diameter, 2.5 inches (63 mm) length
Caliber: 12 gauge
Damage Description: Rapidly expands inside target and gouges a large, particularly vicious wound channel due to the two-in-one design.
Effective Range: 250 meters
Muzzle Velocity: 2,200 fps
Muzzle Blast: A cone of fire erupts from the weapon’s barrel with each shot as escaping gasses are burnt off.
Recoil: Minimal
Energy Source: Chemical
-
Scatter-Shot
A Red shotgun shell that has been filled with a solid block of high-velocity propellant and fires 00 steel pellets which are designed to perforate targets with multiple, smaller wounds.
-
Size: 0.71 inches (18 mm) diameter, 2.5 inches (63 mm) length
Caliber: 12 gauge
Damage Description: Rips into targets.
Effective Range: 60 meters
Muzzle Velocity: 1,850 fps
Muzzle Blast: A cone of fire erupts from the weapon’s barrel with each shot as escaping gasses are burnt off.
Recoil: Heavy, but tolerable.
Energy Source: Chemical
-
Slug
A Red shotgun shell filled with a solid block of high-velocity propellant and a steel slug that is designed to punch holes clean through tougher targets in addition to remaining more accurate over distance than a shell filled with pellets.
-
Size: 0.71 inches (18 mm) diameter, 2.5 inches (63 mm) length
Caliber: 12 gauge
Damage Description: Punches a hole in targets.
Effective Range: 325 meters
Muzzle Velocity: 2,000 fps
Muzzle Blast: A cone of fire erupts from the weapon’s barrel with each shot as escaping gasses are burnt off.
Recoil: Heavy, but tolerable.
Energy Source: Chemical
-
Exothermic Scatter-Shot
An orange shotgun shell filled with a solid block of high-velocity propellant that fires a mix of 00 steel pellets and magnesium filings which are designed to perforate targets with multiple, smaller wounds as well as spew a 3000 degrees Celsius1) gout of flame along the path of the pellets.
-
Size: 0.71 inches (18 mm) diameter, 2.5 inches (63 mm) length
Caliber: 12 gauge
Damage Description: Rips into targets.
Effective Range: 60 meters
Muzzle Velocity: 1,850 fps
Muzzle Blast: A massive cone of fire erupts from the weapon’s barrel with each shot as escaping gasses are burnt off and burning magnesium is fired forwards.
Recoil: Heavy, but tolerable.
Energy Source: Chemical
-
Magnum Scatter-Shot
A Purple shotgun shell filled with a solid block of high velocity propellant and heavier Nerimium 000 pellets that are designed to pepper tougher targets with just as lethal wounds
-
Size: 0.71 inches (18 mm) diameter, 2.5 inches (63 mm) length
Caliber: 12 gauge
Damage Description: Rips into targets.
Effective Range: 85 meters
Muzzle Velocity: 2,250 fps
Muzzle Blast: A cone of fire erupts from the weapon’s barrel with each shot as escaping gasses are burnt off.
Recoil: Rather Heavy; likely to bruise
Energy Source: Chemical
-
Magnum Slug
A Purple shotgun shell filled with a solid block of high-velocity propellant and a dense Nerimium slug that is designed to leave a hole in even suits of power armour at the cost of very high recoil.
-
Size: 0.71 inches (18 mm) diameter, 2.5 inches (63 mm) length
Caliber: 12 gauge
Damage Description: Punches a hole in targets.
Effective Range: 400 meters
