GURPS Shotguns

All shotgun ammunition fires at nearly the same velocity.

That means a pellet of a given size is going to do the same damage regardless of gauge.  They will also have the same 1/2D and Max ranges.

What will matter after that is how many pellets.

00 Buck is the baseline pellet for GURPS shotguns, and most gauges smaller than 12 don't get a 00 option.

Check the ammo sellers.

.410 is the exception because you can get 000 loads.

Starting at #1 Buck, the pellets get pi-.

Many of the smaller rounds don't even get a slug option.

It makes it easy to spec out a new shotgun once you do the math for a given pellet.
