12 Gauge

12 gauge is the premier shotgun caliber, containing every munition from slugs to phosphorus. It can be shot from the Lever Action Shotgun, the Liberator, the Franchi SPAS-12, and the Auto Shotgun (alongside their associated variants).

By default, the ricochet angle — the maximum angle between a projectile and the surface it hits that allows it to ricochet — is 5°.

Flamer Fuel

Flamer fuel, as the name suggests, serves as fuel for the Flamethrower and its variants.

Curiously, hitting an entity deals damage without any special ignition effects, including igniting the entity. With primary fire held down, the Flamethrower in particular 'fires' a flame projectile — with a base damage of 1 — every tick that ignores invincibility frames; as such, its nominal damage per second is 20.

Capacitor

Capacitors are disposable ammunition used in energy weapons like the Laser Rifle and the Tesla Cannon.

Due to their status as simply a store of electricity (rather than a discretely-fired projectile), the actual mechanics vary wildly between weapon. For actual statistics, check the respective weapons page.

Mini Nuke

Mini nukes represent the ultimate weapon of choice: a man-portable, miniaturized atomic bomb. They are launched by the M42 Nuclear Catapult "Fat Man".

Every type explodes on impact — unlike grenades and rockets, no direct damage is applied to the entity.

Heavy Demolition Charge	Deals 50 damage and significant block damage in an area of 15 blocks, also covers the crater in slag.

Trivia

• In real life, soft-point bullets are typically still jacketed. The term comes from that the soft metal core is exposed at the tip. Solid lead bullets are their own category.
  • Using soft-point bullets in warfare is a violation of the Hague Convention of 1899 (declaration IV, 3).
• Similarly, full metal jacket bullets are not made of solid copper or hard metal, as their core is still soft metal, like lead. Bullets made of solid hard metal do exist, but are typically just called solid metal bullets.
• Some jacketed hollow-point include a polymer tip, as all NTM hollow-points do. The purpose is to improve expansion upon hitting a soft target, but also sometimes to prevent premature expansion, such as when passing through clothing.
