Definition
Plural form of buckshot; large lead pellets fired from a shotgun, or instances of shooting such pellets.
Etymology
From 'buck' (a male deer, historically hunted with these larger pellets) plus 'shot' (projectile). The term emerged in the 1800s when hunters needed larger ammunition for big game than standard bird shot.
Kelly Says
Buckshot pellets are much larger than birdshot—typically nine to twenty large balls per shell—and they retain enough energy at distance to be dangerous, which is why they're regulated differently than smaller ammunition in many places.
