A shot cartridge (7) comprises a shell (2) with an outlet end (4), and a multiplicity of elongate projectiles (8) provided in the shell. Each projectile (8) has an impact end (9) and a rearward end (10) and is asymmetrically shaped so that its centre of gravity is situated closer to the impact end (9) than the rearward end (10). The projectiles behave as arrows when the shot cartridge is fired by a shot gun, which makes it possible to make the projectiles from an environmentally friendly material lighter than lead without reducing the striking energy of the projectiles as compared to traditional spherical lead small shots.
