I did some more testing and it seems that when shooting a dummy with buckshot from ~10m or so away, it only takes 2 shots to kill, but if you walk up to the dummy and shoot them at point-blank, it takes 3 shots. It seems like the spread of the pellets gives it a better chance to hit multiple hitboxes on the player, which amplifies the damage.

However, 8 pellets directly into the torso hitbox should probably be a kill, but it seems like it's only registering one pellet per hitbox.
