.410 bore is a type of ammunition for firearms. It is classified as a (S)hotgun caliber.

.410 bore is pronounced four-ten bore.

.410 bore is the smallest of the shotgun shell sizes available in the Mazes. Although long (3 inch/76mm), their restrictive diameter only allows for a limited quantity of powder and projectiles. On the other hand, these shells are small, lightweight, low-recoiling, and of sufficiently small diameter to fit in certain handguns (certain .45 Colt and .454 Casull firearms). For all of these reasons, .410 bore is often considered the entry-level of shotgun calibers in the Mazes, selected by the younger and the less-experienced.

Some projectile types are not available in .410 bore (namely, FRAG-12 and coin shot) as they simply would not fit.

This caliber may also simply be called .410. On occasion, it may be colloquially referred to as .410 gauge, however that's a technically incorrect designation.

Damage tables

Buckshot

The table below assumes Plated buckshot (P-Buck). Pain and Limb Damage listed are per projectile; multiply by the amount of projectiles that hit.

Damage type	Projectiles	LDV	Pain (C1)	Pain (C2)	Pain (A1)	Pain (A2)	Pain (A3)	Pain (A4)	Pain (A5)
Bullet	5	+0	15%	13%	12%	9%	7%	4%	1%

Dragon's buckshot (D-Buck) uses 3 pellets per shell instead of 5 due to the incendiary charge. See Ammunition types for damage.

Slug

The table below assumes Full metal jacketed slug (F-Slug).

Damage type	LDV	Pain (C1)	Pain (C2)	Pain (A1)	Pain (A2)	Pain (A3)	Pain (A4)	Pain (A5)
Bullet	+3	52%	47%	42%	34%	26%	13%	4%

Exotic projectiles

Flechette

Shooting this ammunition type applies a FT -1 effect.

Pain and Limb Damage listed are per projectile; multiply by the amount of projectiles that hit.

Damage type	Projectiles	LDV	Pain (C1)	Pain (C2)	Pain (A1)	Pain (A2)	Pain (A3)	Pain (A4)	Pain (A5)
Bullet	10	+1	12%	11%	14%	12%	9%	5%	2%

Flechette ammunition is more efficient against armored ACs than against unarmored ACs. To reflect this, damage against armored ACs is bolded.
