12 gauge CAWS is a type of ammunition for firearms. It is classified as a (S)hotgun caliber, and was originally designed for the Heckler & Koch CAWS.

12 gauge CAWS is a unique shotgun shell type. Though of identical diameter compared to a regular 12 gauge shell, 12 gauge CAWS shells are made entirely out of brass, and are belted to prevent chambering them in regular 12 gauge firearms (and vice versa). They are essentially brass-cased, 3 inch (76mm) long shotgun shells, capable of using the same projectiles as regular 12 gauge, but with a much stronger powder load; essentially making these shells far more powerful.

This caliber may also be referred to as simply CAWS shell, which is sometimes shortened to CS.


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 15 +1 20% 18% 16% 13% 10% 5% 1%
  • Dragon's buckshot (D-Buck) uses 9 pellets per shell instead of 15 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 +7 222% 200% 178% 144% 111% 55% 17%

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 30 +2 14% 12% 17% 14% 11% 5% 2%
  • Flechette ammunition is more efficient against armored ACs than against unarmored ACs. To reflect this, damage against armored ACs is bolded.

FRAG-12 (explosive slug)

FRAG-12 shells cause localized explosions. See Explosives for more details.
