Buck & Ball can be manufactured using basic materials in the field. It is only used in Musket ⚡ weapons, is made up of 4 projectiles, and has the following damage profiles:
- 1 shot of 4d6 DMG 1 PEN.
- 3 shots of 1d6 DMG 1 PEN each.
During the 19th century many muzzleloader shooters added a small number of buckshot pellets to their standard ball shot cartridge. This helped them to engage in short-range firefights, and to injure enemy combatants in an off-chance medium range hit with buckshot. Such a shot at close range could result in a number of impacts, one of them leaving a grapefruit-sized hole on the other side, giving birth to the Australian term "buck & ball torture".
