Summary
Balance "Remove armor penetration from shotgun flechettes, clarify descriptions"
Purpose of change
The efficacy of shotgun flechette loads has come up multiple times on devcord.
shot_flechetteis not meant to represent the best of taofledermaus videos but loads similar to what US military has tested, and their performance has been pretty questionable. To quote Kevin:Describe the solution
Remove armor penetration from shotgun flechettes and bring flechette cartridge descriptions in line with what they actually do compared to regular shot.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Testing
Shot 00 and flechettes at some zombies.
Additional context
I'm not really looking for an argument about efficacy of shotgun flechettes. This topic has been gone through a great number of times. Either this change is in line with the intent of those devcord discussions and it gets merged with minor adjustments if necessary, or it isn't and I'll close it.
