i think buck shot is just like shit tht flys out to scare off people and not really.
wikipedia: Buckshot is used for hunting larger game, such as
deer (hence derivation of the name), and also in
riot shotguns and
combat shotguns
for defensive, police, and military use. Buckshot is also categorized
by number, with smaller numbers being larger shot. It is called either
"buckshot" or just "buck", such as "triple-ought buck" or "number 4
buck".
