20x75mm Chelti Shotgun String

Similar in principle to the Web-type of ammunition, this 20x75mm shotgun shell dispenses with the soft protein covering and replaces it with magnetized weights on the ends of meter long high-tensile strings. Designed to be fired from multiple barrels at once, the friction of the weights inside the barrel induces a charge into the metal and causes one ball from each net fired at once to connect, forming a continuous flying cutting implement towards the target.

The more barrels fired at once the larger these nets can become, capable of cutting swathes through foliage, objects, and people. Effects have been described as similar to an egg slicer, but for people.

As a high-risk, specialty ammo is sells for 500ks a box of twenty.
