buckshots
Scattered shotgun pellets
Buckshots is the plural of buckshot, large lead pellets used in shotgun shells for hunting deer and other large game.
The word rarely appears in plural form since buckshot usually functions as a mass noun: The shotgun was loaded with buckshot.
When pluralized, it typically refers to individual pellets or different types of buckshot ammunition.
