Bullet Weights- this would add versatility to all the


guns. It would also make it more realistic. A bullet for
deer isn’t for elk, yet that is what is done.

Buckshot Sizes: There are many sizes of buckshot.


Buckshot can be used for almost any self defense
instance, and is great for deer hunting. Did you know that
it is also used for varmints like the coyote too?
The sizes of buckshot are…
Size
Tri-aught (12 gauge)

#0000 #4

#000 #FF

#00 #F (TTT)

#0 #TT

#1 #T

#2 #BBB

#3 #BB
Birdshot Sizes: Just like the buckshot, there are many
types of birdshot. This is simply because there is only one
bird to shoot right now. Even then their should be 3 sizes
available, 6, 5, and 4 lead. There are many different
materials used to create birdshot, but the two most
common are lead, and steel. Some others are hevi-shot,
ITX shot, and bismuth. There are many different
variations from these three but most are just a type of
tungsten iron. Hevi-shot is a tungsten-iron, ITX is a
tungsten-iron. Bismuth is a metal of its own. The only
problem with bismuth is that it gets deformed during
firing and thus patterns bad.

The birdshot sizes are…

Slugs: Slugs are what make the shotgun so versatile.


They have the power to down game up to the size of
Cape buffalo. Within 100 yards they have about the same
as or more than the 30-06 or .300.
