Shotgun ammunition

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 6, Helena's Hydra utilizes a smaller 10 Gauge Shells rather than the 12 Gauge Shells. The 10 Gauge Shells are exclusive to her as she is the only character that can pick it up. Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City don't feature its own Shotgun Shells, but instead uses ammo stashes and boxes to replenish ammo for the shotgun. Resident Evil Revelations limits the amount for carrying Shotgun Shells and restricts any other Shotgun Shells from being taken if the amount has reached its limit. The player can extend the limit by obtaining an Ammo Bag specifically for the Shotgun Shells. This also applies in Raid Mode, though the Shotgun Shells Bag can only be bought in the store.
