Explosive Slugs are Riot Shotgun, Autoshotgun, and Boom Stick ammunition.

Description

Explosive Slugs are a special type of ammunition for the Riot Shotgun, Autoshotgun and Boom Stick. Unlike the standard Shotgun Shells, they do not split into 8 pellets, instead they are a single projectile that explodes on impact, making them much more reliable at bigger distances.

Function

They cause very high amounts of Burns and moderate amounts of Deep Tissue Injuries and Bleeding.
