 ===== 12 Gauge =====
+> //Used in various Shotguns.//
+gauge is the only shotgun caliber currently available in the game. It is devastating at close range, and can even stay effective up to medium range, but any more and it very quickly lose its effectiveness. It is also one of the heaviest ammo types.
+Out of all the ranged munition types, 12 gauge has the most variants, with a total of five.

 ===== 5.6 Intermediate =====
+> //Used in Carbines and Light Rifles.//

+===== .50 Cal =====
+> //Used in Heavy Snipers and Anti-Materiel Weapons.//
+.50 BMG (Browning Machine Gun), also known as 12.7×99mm NATO, is the dedicated anti-materiel cartridge in the game. It deals the most damage out of all bullet-type cartridges and has the highest natural penetration, but it is also very expensive and heavy.
+As of demo version 0.14.9, no NPCs aside from [[contracts:counter_sniper|the Insurrection sniper]] spawn with .50 BMG weapons, making [[:shops|shops, traders]], and loot containers (with [[:chargen#difficulty|the "replenish loot" difficulty option]] enabled) being the only renewable ways to acquire more ammo of this type.
