A shotgun load of three correct-once flechettes would be vastly more technically feasible and effective than homing buckshot.

Why use shotshell at all (outside of birding or skeet-shooting, as a defensive weapon for unskilled shooters and a few other useful applications)? FPS games have them, with unrealistic effects, just like they have pistols as more accurate than longarms and so on, as a common trope.
