Some Facts • Revolver and pistol ammunition is not interchangable • Pistol and submachine gun ammunition is interchangable, thus Vickers Mk.I revolver and submachine gun ammunition is not interchangable .303 machine gun (GB, 1912) • Rifle and handgun/submachine gun ammunition is never inter- changable • Pistol ammunition can often be used in other weapons of the same caliber, while this is not necessarily the case with revolvers sharing the same caliber.

Shotguns Shotguns using shot ammunition – a shell filled with small pellets – Browning M-1919 behave a bit differently than regular bullets. .30-06 machine gun (USA, 1919) Shot Ammunition Shotgun Attack Difficulties Base Range for shotguns is rather short but as the cloud of pellets trav- Range Difficulty ODF els, it disperses, increasing the chance to hit a target.

Slugs Shotguns can also be loaded with solid slugs. These behave like regular rifle ammunition with decreased accuracy, as the barrel of a shotgun is not rifled. Base Range is 50m and ODF is +7. Slugs are not subject to any of the special rules for shot ammunition.
