12 Gauge Shells for the Shotgun that scatter fires.

Shotgun Shells are a fairly common piece of ammunition found in every Resident Evil game, although usually less plentiful than Handgun Ammo. They are, as their name would imply, used in conjunction with a Shotgun.

In Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, Shotgun Shells are made from Gun Powder B and more powerful "Enhanced Shells" can be made later on.

In Resident Evil 4, Shotgun Shells come in a green and yellow box emblazoned with the words "Heavy Field". The logo features a crosshair aimed at a brown bear, which may indicate that they are hunting rounds. They hold a maximum of 15 rounds per box. Unlike most Resident Evil games where shotgun rounds were usually .00 Buckshot, the rounds used in RE4 are SABOT rounds, a type of anti-personnel flechette round.
