The PA-12 Bucky is a that is a primary weapon in Valorant.

Summary
The Bucky is the cheapest primary weapon in the game at 900 credits, making it useful for half-buy rounds. It shoots 15 pellets per shot with high falloff. At 8 or fewer meters, 7 pellets are enough to kill, while 9 pellets are needed at 8-12. Any pellets that strike the head deal double damage.

Past 12 meters, the primary fire is near useless, but the alternate fire allows Bucky users to extend its range by firing a single shell containing pellets that explode at 8 meters, allowing its user to fight enemies at a medium distance. If the pellet strikes a target before 8 meters however, it will only deal 1 pellet worth of damage.

Like other pump action shotguns, the Bucky can be reloaded after a single shot at no cost to the fire rate, effectively increasing its magazine size from 5 to 15.

Trivia

 * The Bucky's design seems to be based on the Benelli Nova.
