Hi,
This is from a Warhammer game text:

Bullets and shotte made out of silver are not cheap – especially when they are also inscribed with runes of arcane warding against the Undead.

Thanks

definition I just got a definition from the client: Shotte are like medieval shotgun pellets. Lead ball bearings that get loaded into a gunpowder pistol.

neutral Fabp : la forma corretta in italiano per indicare le sfere con cui si possono caricare i fucili da caccia dovrebbe essere "pallini".

Ha perfettamente ragione! Ho sbagliato di scrivere il genere.
agree P.L.F. Persio : allora meglio "pallini", al maschile.

Reference:

I found (in the first link) an old definition of "shot" in middle english dictionary, which shows the form "shot(t)e". It could be "proiettili" o anche "pallini" (this is the correct form in italian).

In the second URL i found an image of toy soldier arrangement showing this word.

Hope this was helpful.
