Alright, this is actually going to start more off as a suggestion thread for the moment, while I try to drum up interest. Right now I want to add a huge variety of more shotgun ammo types to Cataclysm, either as a mod, or as a mainline PR on the github. This mod aims to provide a huge variety of alternate shotgun rounds, ranging from the Hilariously stupid 12 Gauge ‘Skittles shot’, to the devastating “Battery Slugs”. These are inspired by the Taufledermaus channel, and their wacky experiments on kustomized shotgun ammo

As of right now, I currently have the following on my drawing board. The vast majority of these will be “Survivor Teknolugy”, as in they require a very high fabrication skill, and a little inspiration from reading rare books that I’ll add to provide the recipes. Some will obviously be very high-level shennanigans, like Fission Slugs, so you have a hilariously overkill and possibly suicidal use for plutonium batteries.
Skittles Shot: Uses Hard Candy, medium damage, low penetration, ultra-light. Taste the rainbow motherfucker
Battery Slugs: A shorter range slug that has higher damage and penetration than standard slugs, also extremely heavy.
Ball and Chain: Very low dispersion buckshot, made in bulk using actual chains.
Buck and Ball:
Rocket Shot: Uses Rocket Candy to make more effective incendiary rounds
Fission Slugs: The Heaviest of all shotgun rounds. Ultra-short range, uses Plutonium Batteries as the Shot, which makes huge explosions. Also extremely heavy.
Nail-shot: Uses nails, obviously
Marble Shot: For when you run out of lead and all you have is a boomer’s marble collection
