Flechette Ammo

Description

Flechette ammunition is a type of special round used for slug-throwing weapons. Rather than a bullet it releases a spray of tiny darts which are very effective against unarmored or lightly-armored personnel and virtually useless against armored targets. In game terms, Flechette ammunition does double damage against conventional infantry and woods but half damage to all other targets. They may only be loaded in standard and light autocanons.
