Buckshot Roulette is a 2023 tabletop horror game created and developed by Estonian indie game developer Mike Klubnika. The game takes place in an underground nightclub, where the player character plays a high-stakes game of Russian roulette against a mysterious entity only known as "the Dealer", using a 12-gauge shotgun instead of the more traditional revolver. Originally released on the digital indie game store itch.io in late 2023, the game gained viral popularity online though multiple social media platforms (and copycat games). The game would eventually be released on Steam by publisher Critical Reflex in early 2024.
The following weapons appear in the video game Buckshot Roulette:
Remington Model 870
The shotgun used throughout the game is a wood furniture Remington Model 870.
Remington Model 870 Police Magnum Riot Shotgun - 12 gauge
"1 LIVE ROUND. 2 BLANKS." The Model 870 appears for the first time as the Dealer presents the first shells to the player.
"I INSERT THE SHELLS IN AN UNKNOWN ORDER." The Dealer loads the shotgun for the first round.

After using up a magnifying glass, the player character checks the shotgun's chamber to find a blank shell loaded. After the first round of the game, items are given to both the player and the Dealer. Using a magnifying glass allows the current player check the shotgun's chamber. Also, despite blank shotgun shells containing no actual projectiles, it should still be noted that the gunpowder's explosion and/or a potential misfire could still be lethal at point-blank range.
The shotgun's barrel (and magazine tube) being sawed off. Using a serrated switchblade (referred to in-game as a "hand saw"), the current player can saw off the shotgun for double the damage.
